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.

1 Day in Petrified Forest National Park

So while this post is how to spend a day in the park, you could spend only a few hours here and still get to see most of it.

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?

One of my favorite hikes to date ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿฅพ Our wild child ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ Adventure always ๐Ÿฅพ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Hiking in French Creek State Park! Beautiful even in the winter. Happy Gotcha Day Remington! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ Third camping trip in the books! I was BEYOND nervous for this trip. Weโ€™ve only ever traveled about an hour with our RV so far and not up mountains. Getting to State College included some steep mountains which had me very anxious. Lots of prayers happened this week for a safe trip and to calm our stress about it. God had it covered. We had a wonderful trip and am so thankful for @teddyfisher.wildlifephotos who knows how to drive the rig and for his parents for helping out with Bailey and hanging out with us for the weekend. First time we had 4 people and a pup sleep in the camper! All in all, great trip! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ’™ Second camping trip complete! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฒAnd Bailey got to come along this time. We are continuing our learning on what to pack, what to leave at home, and our โ€œstyleโ€ of camping. ๐Ÿถ First weekend camping in the new RV complete. We camped about 20 minutes from home at a great campground with mini golf, a pond, fire pits, and a dog run. Looking forward to doing it again next weekend in a new spot. We make our own adventure ๐Ÿš๐ŸŒฒ
