TRAVEL ITINERARY
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES—WEEKEND TRIP
Day One
10:00 a.m.
Pink Jeep “Touch the Earth Vortex Tour”
Sedona is considered to be a sacred place by vacationers and spiritual seekers alike because of its
spectacular beauty, unique geology and mystical atmosphere, all showcased in its vortexes—places of
highly concentrated energy conducive to prayer, meditation and healing. Pink Jeep Tours’ insightful, twoand-a-half-hour “Touch the Earth Vortex Tour” is a great way to explore these power spots, while learning
about the history, culture and beliefs surrounding them.

Lunch at L’Auberge Restaurant on Oak Creek
Named “One of the Top 10 Restaurants in the Southwest” by Condé Nast Traveler, L’Auberge Restaurant
on Oak Creek offers modern French cuisine amid the forested beauty of Sedona. It’s utterly romantic and
thoroughly magical—a fitting lunch after your vortex tour.

3:00 p.m.
Hike or Bike on Forest Trails or Stroll through Slide Rock State Park
It’s time to take a walk on the wild side. Especially since the majority of Sedona’s hiking trails are on the
Coconino National Forest. {Click here} for a map of trails and urban pathways for hiking and biking. Or
opt for both wet and wild, with a visit to Slide Rock State Park. This 43-acre historic apple farm located
in Oak Creek Canyon features a stretch of creek bottom where visitors can slide down a slick natural
water chute or wade and sun along the creek.

Day Two continued
4:00 p.m.
Shopping in Downtown Sedona
Shopping has never been a more beautiful experience. Under cobalt skies, surrounded by crimson rocks,
Sedona’s main shopping drag—State Route 89A—offers some of the best finds in Arizona. From galleries
to gifts, home furnishings to homemade fudge, it’s a highly attractive place to say, “charge it!”

6:00 p.m.
Dinner at Dahl & Di Luca
Sedona’s red rocks might knock you out during the day, but Dahl & Di Luca will knock you out at night. That’s
because this opulent Italian dining room looks more like a private home than a restaurant, plays live romantic
music and serves one of the most inspired Italian-cuisine menus in town. A fitting way to cap off a memorable
trip. http://dahlanddiluca.com
