Sedona VacationsSummer’s Almost Over…
Now Is The Time
For That Sedona,
Arizona Vacation!
By Tracy Phillips

Haven’t taken a vacation yet?  There’s still time to get away and take that hard earned summer vacation.  And the perfect place to make the most of what is left of summer is Arizona’s Red Rock country-Sedona.  Aside from those famous Red Rocks, Sedona has so much to do that everybody can have their idea of a dream vacation…

Relive one’s childhood.  Longing for the carefree summer days of youth?  Well recapture them with a school’s out vacation in Sedona.  Stay at the Sedona Summit Resort which features: pools, hot tubs, fitness, barbecue areas, activities, personal Concierge service and panoramic Red Rock views.  This is just the place to rediscover one’s inner child.  Frolic in the pool. Make a craft.  Hike into the adjacent Red Rocks.  One will want to play and Sedona has a wide variety of fun things to do… Be a cowboy.  Hop on a horse and ride the dusty trails.  Or be an explorer.  Take a Jeep tour that follows General Crook’s trail.  How about Tom Sawyer?  Float down a lazy river on a raft and see the greener side of Sedona.  Finally, visit Slide Rock State Park and enjoy a natural waterslide.

Have an adult’s only retreat.  Kids back in school?  Ready to do grown up things again?  That’s right, Sedona can provide everything one needs for an ideal romantic getaway.  Stay at the Ridge on Sedona Golf Resort located between spectacular Red Rock formations and the green expanse of Sedona Golf Resort.  The resort features: pool, hot tub, fitness center, barbecue areas, views galore and personal Concierge service.  Relax in the hot tub.  Share a glass of wine at sunset on the room’s private balcony.  Have the Concierge set up spa appointments and tee times.  Once one is relaxed from the day at the spa, it’s time to explore Sedona’s art galleries.  Simply window shop or pick up a one of a kind piece for home.  Next spend the day wine tasting at the local vineyards.  Just seven miles south of Sedona are several award winning winemakers, all with tasting rooms and tours.  Take to the air in a Hot Air Balloon or for a thrilling helicopter ride.  Both activities will afford one a fresh perspective on the Red Rock formations.  Dine.  Have dinner at Cucina Rustica, named Sedona’s most romantic restaurant.  Fine Italian cuisine, beautiful décor and an extensive wine list…   Or eat in a cellar.  A wine cellar that is… Amara Resort and Spa features special chef dinners right in the wine cellar.  Finally, take the time to reconnect and rediscover each other and oneself.
