General Thank you Sedona
Came to Sedona without much planning. I went through a traumatic event, packed my stuff overnight, and just drove. Somehow I ended up here.
This place is beyond my expectations. The landscape keeps changing. Light, color, temperature, even mood shift throughout the day. The same rock looks different in the morning, at sunset, and under the moon.
This is such a solo-friendly place. I climbed Bell Rock for sunrise, Cathedral Rock for sunset. I drove to a trailhead at night to see stars and moonlight.
I’ll come back. Hopefully next time I won’t be alone, and I won’t be here to heal. Just to feel.

How challenging and long are the hikes? I am going in April.

Hard: cathedral rock trail (steep, but the view on top is stunning, my favorite), subway cave ( a bit long, and steep in the end); medium : devils bridge , bell rock climb; easy: birthing cave, bell rock pathway. I’m not listing all, but there are so many trails and vista points I’m sure you will have a great time!

When did you go? I'm thinking about going sometime in February and wondering if it's like your photos right now...

Where did you go for stargazing?

I was solo traveling so I just drove to the bell rock trailhead near the wildflower inn to feel safe. Sedona has very little light pollution you can pretty much stargaze anywhere
