GoogleMaps gives the most direct route from the airport to the Sedona area as: Take I-10W, then Follow I-17N to AZ-179N at exit 298 • Follow AZ-179 to N State Rte 89A in Sedona.
A shuttle service is also available, check out the link for pricing.
“Obviously the Sedona Chamber is a good source for activities however it will depend on each persons interests. No malls HA. Many outdoor adventures hiking jeep tours helicopter short tours biking and of course metaphysical venues massage psychics spirit walks vortexes art Talaquepaque just relaxing and watching red tail Hawks catch air currents or just sit on a rock and meditate lol. ☯🅱〰”
Hikes from a Sedona dweller
Airport loop is a nice moderate hike with 360 views of the red rocks which includes the vortex that Mitch proposed on, devils bridge out in Seven Canyons which spans a great width that one can cross, down Soldiers Pass road you can find a trailhead to many of fine hikes including Devils Kitchen, also a must is Bell Rock the most famous vortex of all located in the Village of Oak Creek. You will find a majestic walk down Broken Arrow, passing along Submarine Rock which navigates to a hidden view behind Holy of the Cross Church(crazy cool architecture built into the red rock), and last but most important is the iconic Cathedral Rock in which offers the most breathtaking views from the vortex saddle, the reward is unparalleled for this semi-difficult but semi-short hike. Oh and don't forget to make your counter-clock wise rounds at the Stupa in town.
