Your Ultimate Young Camping Itinerary

A day trip from your Gilbert or Queen Creek vacation rental to Sedona combines desert beauty with spiritual energy and world-class scenery. The roughly two-hour drive north takes you through diverse Arizona landscapes, from flat desert floor to the dramatic red rock formations that have made Sedona one of the most photographed places in America.

What to Do in Sedona

Start with a drive through Oak Creek Canyon, often called Arizona's little Grand Canyon. Hike to Cathedral Rock or Bell Rock for iconic Sedona views. Visit the Chapel of the Holy Cross, built directly into the red rock cliffside. The town's gallery-lined streets offer Southwestern art, jewelry, and crafts. For the adventurous, jeep tours take you into backcountry terrain that is inaccessible by standard vehicle.

Vortex Sites

Sedona is famous for its energy vortex sites, where visitors report feeling heightened spiritual energy. Whether you believe in vortexes or simply enjoy beautiful hiking, these locations offer some of the area's best scenery.

Return to Your Rental Refreshed

After a full day exploring Sedona, return to the comfort of your vacation rental for an evening by the pool. Plan your Sedona day trip by booking your base at LoveYourVacationRental.com.
