Phoenix might be the largest city in Arizona, but if you want to visit a truly impressive place, head 120 miles north to Sedona. It is a town that you might find to be strangely familiar even if you have never been there before, because dozens of westerns were shoot here and around the town. Hotels are inexpensive and they will make you feel like home, even though most of the time will be spent outdoors.

Once you find proper accommodation and make sure that the hotel is meeting your expectations, it is time to venture outside the city's outskirts. The Red Rocks of Sedona are one of the main attractions in the entire United States and when engulfed in sunlight, they create a stunning spectacle. Whether you like hiking, biking or just seek solitude, you will find it here.
