Celebrate July in Arizona’s Red Rock Country- Sedona.

 


Gorgeous Sedona, Arizona Sunset

When most think of July, one thing comes to mind-Independence Day. And it is great, fireworks, grilling and lots of family fun. But in Sedona there is reason to celebrate the entire month of July. There is so much to do: Independence Day festivities, art gallery tours, Sedona Film Festival premieres, artist receptions, National Day of the Cowboy and more. Don’t forget the beautiful natural scenery to explore, Red Rock formations, Slide Rock State Park, Oak Creek Canyon and the Grand Canyon. So take a trip to Sedona this July because every day there is a reason to celebrate.

So a vacation to Sedona in July is planned, now it is time to figure out what activities to do once in Red Rock country. There are so many, that a little advance planning goes a long way. One of the most popular activities is a Jeep Tour. There are many to choose from: vortex tours, sunset, vineyard, white knuckling wild and every member of the family mild. Just get on one because it really is one of the best ways to explore Sedona’s Red Rocks. Want to explore those cowboy roots? Simply hop on a horse and hit the trail. There are very good guided tours and some that end with a campfire cookout and wagon ride. Want to get wet and wild? Of course there is white water rafting at the Grand Canyon (just two hours from Sedona), but there is also kayaking down the Verde Valley River just 20 minutes from Sedona. The water to wine tour allows one to kayak down the river to the Alcantara Vineyard. Once there one can taste wines in the Tuscan style farmhouse. How about a train ride? Relax on board and watch the spectacular natural beauty pass by the window. Or venture out onto the observation deck and get photos of a lifetime. Don’t forget, Sedona also offers world-class golf, spas and dining.

Where does one stay in Sedona? There are many lodging options, but for a real home away from home, The Ridge on Sedona Golf Resort is the place. Located on the Sedona Golf Resort and surrounded by those spectacular Red Rocks, this resort offers views galore. Amenities include: pools, hot tubs, grilling areas, on-site activities, spa services, fitness center and personal Concierge service. One bedroom suites feature: fully-equipped kitchen, whirlpool tub, fireplace, private patio or balcony, washer/dryer and sleeps four comfortably. Imagine relaxing on the balcony with a glass of wine after a full day of activities, simply enjoying the view.

One will want to dine out while in Sedona, and there are restaurants that suit every budget and palate. From the casual fun of The Marketplace Café to the romantic allure of Cucina Rustica. Traveling with foodies? Sedona even has them covered. How about a Chef’s tasting menu at Fournos Restaurant? Let Chef Ivan Flowers pair his award-winning cuisines with wines from the boutique wine list. Or get a taste of the real Southwest at The Cowboy Club. Rattlesnake, buffalo, cactus fries and cowboy steaks served in a sumptuous atmosphere.

Celebrate July in Sedona, Arizona. Where Fourth of July fireworks are just one small part of the fun that is offered all month long.
