It was really nice sleeping in today. And waking up to the magnificent view, including Snoopy Rock, right outside our balcony door. Karen did lots of research on Trip Advisor and one of the restaurants that she found was the Wildflower Bread Company. Everyone recommended it for breakfast. We’re lucky that we are right in the middle of uptown Sedona and the restaurant was only a five minute walk. We enjoyed our healthy breakfast on the outside patio with stunning views of the red rocks. On our way back to the hotel, we stopped into the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and received lots of great information from Bob.
There are many things to see in Sedona and we decided to check out the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The chapel is built into the side of the rocks. We found it interesting that many people did not want to step inside the chapel. We spent quite a bit of time here taking lots of pictures. The setting is extremely beautiful, and the chapel was stunning.
Our next stop today was Tlaquepaque. It is an arts and crafts village which has many galleries, shops and restaurants. We walked around the village, took lots more pictures and ended up having lunch at El Rincon Restaurante Mexicano. Very yummy tacos.
Karen got a recommendation that Schnebly Hill Road is a great place to check out the sunrises. We thought we should drive up there to see what it’s like in the daylight. All I can say is that it’s more stunning scenery. It should be really nice tomorrow morning.
We were able to have a short rest before heading out on our Pink Jeep tour. The tour is the number one thing to do in Sedona. Here is the description from their website … “100% off road fun! Eyes open wide on this fun-filled adventure that leads you on and over the red rocks while the magnificent canyon walls surround you.”. We spent the next two hours laughing our butts off while Michael (our driver) took us on a dare-devil ride up rocks that you can’t imagine could ever be climbed in a jeep. And down very steep steps in the rocks. And through windy trails where you never know what is around the next bend, at what seemed like break-neck speed (but was actually 12 mph). And out onto huge plateaus where the scenery was spectacular. The tour makes two stops where you get to get out of the jeep and catch your breath. There were a couple of times where I thought the jeep was going to tip over. It was so cool to get that close to the red rocks.
After all of that bouncing around, it was time for dinner. The man at our hotel’s front desk recommended The Hideaway. It’s a locals’ place for Italian food. What’s nice is that the restaurant overlooks the creek. They serve really delicious food.
We ended the evening with a soak in the hot tub.
