What to do in Sedona With 1 Day (Stay, Eat, Hike)

When we return to Sedona, which we surely will, we plan to do some other trails in the area since we had such a fun time on this one and really love the town and views.

One Day in Saguaro National Park (West)

The first time I visited Saguaro was back in 2019, on a solo trip to Colorado and Arizona. I had visited the eastern side of the park on that trip, so this time around on Teddy and my 10 Day southwest road trip, we chose to do the western side of the park. If you only have a day in the park, our best suggestions are below.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Our little gremlin is already 5 months old. Swipe right for when he was a chonky little guy. 🐶💕 Day 10.5 - Our final travels and return home. DAY 10 - Riverside walks, a valley of fire, and big horned sheep. DAY 9 - Hoodoos, emerald pools, and tired legs. DAY 8 - Goblins, grand staircases, and another early morning sunrise. DAY 7 - An early day with lots of hiking and arches and some pistachio pizza. DAY 6 - Slot canyons, red rocks, and lots of photography. DAY 5 - I’d summarize today as short drives, grand views, wind-burnt faces, and average bbq. DAY 4
