Sedona offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, delicious food, and cultural experiences, making it an ideal destination for people from all walks of life. During our visit, we felt the town’s charm and openness at every stop.
Creekside American Bistro for brunch offers a stunning view of the red rocks, and the food was just as delightful. The inclusive, laid-back atmosphere welcomed everyone, from couples to families and solo travelers.
After brunch, we headed to Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, a beautiful outdoor space with a variety of art galleries and boutique shops. The cobblestone walkways, fountains, and sculptures gave the space a peaceful vibe that made it easy to feel welcome, regardless of background. Tlaquepaque fosters a sense of cultural appreciation, with its diverse artwork and friendly vendors engaging with visitors from all over the world.
Throughout the day, it was clear that Sedona embraces diversity. We felt comfortable and welcomed as an interracial couple, with the town’s residents and businesses demonstrating a spirit of kindness and inclusion.
Whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or as a couple, Sedona offers something for everyone. From scenic drives and delicious meals to art-filled spaces, the town exudes warmth and hospitality. We highly recommend it for travelers of all backgrounds looking for a peaceful and enriching getaway.

Sedona, Arizona has been known as a “healing” location due to high mineral content in the land. The location is breath taking with views of red rock mountains, streams and a combination of both cactus and trees. Unlike the “valley” in Arizona, Sedona remains much cooler (15-20 degrees lower) than closest major city Phoenix and only a 2-hour drive.
The city is known outdoor activites and adventure; hiking, golf, horse back riding and off road riding however there are also amazing spas and art studios to visit and explore. Do not expect a lively night scene-this city does shut down at 10pm but with so much to do during the day, night time is the perfect time to take in star gazing, a good glass of wine and recharge. Defintely a domestic luxury location-you can visit on a budget, but there are some amazing luxeries worth splurging on here.
Equally fun for families, couples and singles; Sedona is must to add to your list and more than likely a location worthy of returning often. The community is welcoming and warm, POC and LBGQTIA friendly.

Sedona is at the top of my favorite travel location in the United States. Not only is it beautiful with all the mountains of red rocks, but it’s also magical with the vortex energy that is beneath the earth. That spirally energy can not only been felt when hiking to some of the main vortex areas, but you can see it when looking at the trees that grow from the ground with twisted bark. There is something to do for every who is looking for some adventure as well as rest and relaxation. Your accommodations can range from camping on BLM land to staying at a luxury spa resort nestled amongst the Red Rocks.
A trip to Sedona will typically require a flight into Phoenix followed by a 2 hour drive to Sedona. It’s well worth it.
