Nate and I got away to Sedona for a weekend to celebrate my birthday! We flew out of Chicago at 5 am and arrived in Arizona around 6:30 am local time! We got our rental car and began the 2 hour drive to Sedona, stopping just outside of Phoenix for breakfast and coffee!
First stop when reaching Sedona was hiking the Fay Canyon Trail! It was an easy main path with a rocky scramble up beyond the end of trail sign and again on a side trail up to the arch!
We got smoothies and acai bowls at Local Juicery and then headed over to see the Chapel of the Holy Cross.
We got mid afternoon coffees and checked into our hotel (we had amazing views from our porch and living room window). We grabbed pizza and salad at the cutest Italian restaurant, Vespa before heading over to Airport Mesa to watch the sunset. We had a late dinner afterward at Elote Cafe!
We were up bright and early the next morning and hiked the Devils Bridge Trail which was about 4.5 miles round trip!
We had a big breakfast at the Coffee Pot (I loved that mug so much I bought one to bring home) and then headed to uptown Sedona for the Broken Arrow Pink Jeep Tour. The views were incredible and the tour finale was a nearly vertical descent down a natural rock staircase!
Afterward we grabbed an early dinner at Creekside American Bistro and then set out for an evening hike along the Long Canyon Trail to the Birthing Cave! We ended up meeting some people at the cave (who took this awesome picture of us) and ended up staying there almost until sunset!
We had a gorgeous view of the sun starting to set over the rocks on our walk back to the car and enjoyed the rest of the sunset while eating ice cream!
We squeezed in one more quick hike up Bell Rock before checking out of the hotel and heading back to Phoenix! We made a quick lunch stop at In-N-Out Burger on the way! 40 is off to a great start! :)
