Sedona

Sedona is one of the better-known tourist spots in Arizona. In fact, it is so well-known that USA Weekend made it no. 1 among its top 10 most beautiful places in the country. There is a good reason that Sedona receives this type of recognition, as it offers some of the most breathtaking views and scenery in the country. Sedona is most famous for its red rocks, not to mention its many hiking trails. However, there is much more to Sedona than pretty rocks and spectacular views.
Sedona has plenty when it comes to shopping, arts, and culture. The Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village features over 40 galleries and shops and four restaurants, including the Rene' at Tlaquepaque, voted by Sedona residents as “The best place to celebrate an occasion.” The Sedona Arts Center has the largest collection of work from local artists and it also sponsors many events, workshops, and art courses. If you are looking for places to shop, you'll have shops and stores to choose from. Among the many choices are Hoel's Indian Shop, the Hillside Sedona shopping mall, and the Prime Outlets at Sedona.
If you're looking for a place to stay, you might need to dig deep into your wallet if you are looking at any one of the major hotels. Among the cheapest are the Comfort Inn (rates starting at $109 per night) and Days Inn ($110 per night Friday and Saturday, $85 Sunday through Thursday). Most hotel rates may vary depending on whether your reservation is during the week or the weekend.
