Man hiking at Devils Bridge in Sedona Arizona
Sedona has some of the best hiking and views you can find in all of the Southwest USA. But my favorite parts of Sedona are the little known secret places, that you can explore and experience without the crowds. This gem is one of those secret locations.

Sedona almost never gets snow, and when it does snow, it rarely sticks. So when a giant snow storm shut down the whole city last winter, we were dying to go out and get some epic snow pictures! 

Locals refer to this spot as the Birthing Cave. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy parts of the city. It is a fairly easy hike to get here, but getting up into the cave is a whole other story! It requires a lot of scrambling, and some serious guts! But boy is the effort worth it!

Sunset at Airport Mesa is a must if in Sedona. I recommend hiking to the knoll below the mesa for a view with fewer people. The mesa is accessible by car and attracts large numbers of people. You have to hike to the knoll and far fewer people congregate here.
I recommend the West Fork of Oak Creek Trail if you're ever in Sedona. It's an easy hike and very lovely.

We’ve stayed at several Sedona hotels and this one was a gem. Tucked off of downtown, with amazing views. Staff was very friendly, grounds were very well kept and the VIP perk was a nice touch. Would definitely stay again!

Room was clean and the bed was SO comfortable. The staff was very friendly and gave us great recommendations for dinner options. Serefina even called one of the local bars to see if they were going to be open and would have our football game on!

9/10 Wonderful! (877 reviews)
The place is a very short walk to all the shops and restaurants of Sedona and parking was directly out the front. The only negative about this place was that the walls were paper thin, we could hear next door so clearly, especially when they were stood outside the front of their room.
