I have friends coming in from out of town. I am showing them around Arizona and one of the places we are going to is in Sedona. I have been before, but I do not have a lot of money so I can't afford the Jeep tours or stuff like that this time. I was planning on hiking and going to see Montezuma's Castle and Slide Rock, but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions of things to do for cheap when we get there. ANY help would be wonderful.

Re: Sedona...on a budget
Mon, October 3, 2005 - 11:28 AMhiking is the best way to see sedona, you dont need a jeep tour for sure. you can hit up red rock state park and v-bar-v ranch (a hidden gem for sure) make sure you get to montezuma well, a nice connection to the castle!
chapel of the holy cross is amazing too. for hiking, try back o beyond and boynton canyon and airport mesa.
have fun!

Re: Sedona...on a budget
Mon, October 3, 2005 - 5:12 PMThere are lots of great little forest roads around the Sedona area. I haven't been on one of these jeep tours, so I'm not sure what roads they take, but there should be quite a few that you can do with just an SUV or pick-up, maybe even some that a car can take on. It's totally free too, and they usually provide the most pristine and least-crowded views of an area. Just buy a good map (Benchmark) and you'll be able to find them. -

Sun, October 9, 2005 - 6:49 PMthanks! I had been to Sedona before, but I wasn't sure how to entertain my friends. We mostly hiked and went to Slide Rock. It was a lot of fun because I hadn't been on most the trails we went to. -
