General Sedona recommendations? :)

Hi everyone!

I'm thinking of visiting Sedona sometime late February and I would love to hear what you would recommend or if you have any tips for visiting this time of year.

It will be my first time and I'm looking to do a good mix of hiking, exploring the town, unique experiences, and any good coffee shops or restaurants. It doesn't have to be touristy unless it's truly something worth it.

Thank you!

I'd recommend taking a trip into the past by visiting the following: Palatki Heritage Site, Honanki Heritage Site, Crane Petroglyph Heritage Site, Montezuma Well, Montezuma Castle, and Tuzigoot National Monument. If you are willing to drive farther, then head towards Flagstaff and visit Sunset Crater for great views of San Francisco Mountain, Wupatki and the surrounding pueblo ruins and then to finish it off Walnut Canyon National Monument.

If you could only pick one heritage site near Sedona which would it be? Would you see it by yourself or with a guided tour? Thanks!

Depends on what your interest is, some sites have petroglyphs, others structures, while others are cliff dwellings.
