Welcome to Sedona

We lodged at the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock, a family-friendly place close to the heart of Sedona.
The kids adored the pool, while my wife and I reveled in the splendid views and spa package.

One of our favorite stores was Crystal Magic.
The owner was wonderful and let our kids pick out free mini crystals. They have a huge selection of crystals and spiritual tools.

A Gentle Packing List for Sedona
- Sun protection. The Arizona sun is strong year round, so a wide brimmed hat and sunscreen are essential.
- Water. A hydration pack or a large bottle makes long hikes and tours far more comfortable.
- Good shoes. Many trails are rocky and uneven, so choose supportive hiking boots or trail shoes.
- Something to read. The Call of Sedona: Journey of the Heart by Ilchi Lee offers a thoughtful look at why so many people consider Sedona a sacred place.
- A crystal companion. Many visitors like to bring a chakra set or a single meaningful stone to hold during meditation at the vortex sites.
Safe travels!
