The Sedona City Guides answer the questions every red rock trip throws up: which trailheads to reach before their car parks are full, how the Red Rock Pass and the free shuttle actually work, where to eat breakfast at seven and dinner with the sunset on the cliffs, and how long the drive really is to the Grand Canyon, Jerome or Antelope Canyon. Each guide is a short, honest list that tells you why a place is worth it, what to do or order there and one useful tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Hideaway House
Highway 179, near Tlaquepaque
Pizza and pasta served on a wide terrace that looks straight at Snoopy Rock, with blankets brought out when the evening turns cool. No cheaper table in town comes with a real red rock view. From the food guide.
Doe Mountain Trailhead
Boynton Pass Road, West Sedona
A short run of switchbacks lifts you onto a flat mesa top in less than a mile, and then you can stroll the whole rim. Bear Mountain, Boynton Canyon and the Verde Valley lie below, with a fraction of the crowds at Cathedral Rock. From the things to do guide.
Montezuma Castle National Monument
Camp Verde, 30 min by car
Some 800 years old, this five-storey home is tucked high into a limestone cliff and still remarkably intact. A short, flat and shaded paved loop takes you right beneath it, and the same ticket covers Tuzigoot. From the canyons and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Sedona
Day one: be at Soldier Pass or Doe Mountain by eight, have a late breakfast or tacos in West Sedona, look into the Chapel of the Holy Cross, then watch the sun go down from Airport Mesa and finish with pizza on the Hideaway House terrace. Day two: drive north through Oak Creek Canyon to the Grand Canyon’s South Rim, climb the Desert View Watchtower and stay for sunset at Hopi Point. For a rainy or slow day, head down to Montezuma Castle, spend the afternoon among the old mining houses of Jerome with a burger at Haunted Hamburger, or give the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff a couple of hours.
