▶ Watch a Sedona Overview

Around Sedona, Page, and Phoenix

This trip is built around Northern Arizona scenery and time together. Phoenix is the usual starting point for the drive north into red rock country.

Sedona is known for its red rock views, easy scenic stops, and a slower pace that works well for a family group. Uptown Sedona has shops and places to grab a bite. Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village sits along Highway 179, with more than 50 shops, galleries, and restaurants in a village setting. It is a good place to walk, browse, and take photos without turning the day into a checklist.

Page, farther north, is the gateway to Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend. Lake Powell and Glen Canyon are for water views, shoreline time, and wide desert skies. Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon on Navajo land, and visits are done with an authorized guided tour, so that part should be planned in advance rather than walked up to. Horseshoe Bend, just south of Page, is the overlook where the Colorado River bends in a horseshoe far below. It is listed as optional on our trip, so it can be a stop if the group has the time and energy.

Sunsets here are part of the point. The rocks change color at the end of the day, which makes an easy family pause before dinner. Shopping and family dinners are already on the plan; specific restaurants and a full day-by-day schedule will be shared when we have them.

Housing, a locked itinerary, meal plans, prices, and bookings are still being planned. Check hours and tour rules close to the trip, since those can change.

Phoenix as the gatewayMost visitors fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor, then drive north. Visit Sedona notes the drive from Phoenix is about two hours via I-17 and SR-179. Phoenix is the typical jump-off for Sedona and the Page area.

Sedona red rocksSedona is known for red rock formations, hiking and mountain-biking trails, and nearly two million acres of surrounding national forest. Golden-hour light on the cliffs is a favorite for sunset views. Start with maps and tips from the official Visit Sedona site.

TlaquepaqueTlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village is a landmark arts village on Oak Creek along SR-179, with galleries, shops, and restaurants in a Mexican-village setting. Check tlaq.com for hours and visitor info before you go.

Antelope CanyonUpper and Lower Antelope Canyon near Page are part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park. Guided tours are required. Book through a Navajo Nation approved operator and review current entry rules on the Navajo Nation Parks site.

Lake PowellLake Powell sits inside Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, with water recreation, scenic overlooks, and dam tours around Page. Plan with the National Park Service Glen Canyon pages for fees, safety, and current lake conditions.

Optional Horseshoe BendHorseshoe Bend is a roughly 1.5-mile round-trip walk to a Colorado River overlook in Glen Canyon NRA. The City of Page charges for trailhead parking (NPS passes do not cover that lot). Bring water, watch footing near the rim, and see the NPS Horseshoe Bend page.
