LOCAL ACTIVITIES
The Verde Valley is located north of Phoenix and south of Flagstaff in northern Arizona. The valley has a rich pioneer history, mild climate, and serene desert beauty with a host of native animals that call the Verde Valley home.
At the center of this large valley and just minutes from The Resort is scenic Sedona with its Red Rock views, surpassed only by the Grand Canyon for its beauty. There is also a thriving wine industry with numerous wineries offering daily wine tasting.
Ghost Town
If you’ve ever wondered what the old west was like, then visit the mining ghost town of Jerome. Tour a real gold mine or browse the many restored shops that now showcase the creative work of a growing artist community.
Hiking
Just a short drive from the resort are some the most spectacular red rock views accessible by trail. Hiking doesn't get much better than the spectacular scenic country surrounding Oak Creek Canyon.
Sight-Seeing
What better way to experience Sedona than in a Jeep, or in a balloon! Whether you're itching to explore the rugged terrain, without breaking a sweat, or looking for an experienced guide to take you on a 4-wheel drive trek you won't forget, Jeep tours are the way to go. If you desire an overhead view of the majestic red rock mountains, Sedona offers hot air balloon and helicopter rides.
Star Gazing the Night Sky
The dim skies of Arizona's desert are the perfect place to star gaze. Evening Sky Tours provide an entertaining night of astronomy for the whole family in Sedona and the experience is one you'll never forget.
Relax and Unwind
There’s no better place for relaxation, renewal, and rejuvenation than in red rock country. You can relax with a spa visit or massage, or exercise your body and mind with yoga or Pilates. Sedona has a number of award-winning spas that our concierge can help you locate
Wine Tasting
There are several nearby wineries and tasting rooms located throughout the Verde Valley. Each winery has its own unique personality and wine collection that visitors can discover on their visit.
