Sedona Hiking Adventure

Welcome to Arizona!

We’ll kick things off at the Phoenix Airport, where you’ll meet your fellow adventurers and your awesome Alpenguides! After some cheerful introductions, we’ll load up our van and trailer, then hit the road toward Sedona.

The drive is a great time to start bonding with the group, and once we arrive in Sedona, we’ll check into our cozy desert accommodations and head into town to find a delicious dinner to celebrate the start of our journey together!

Time for some hiking!

After fueling up with a hearty breakfast, we’ll pile into the van and head to the trailhead for our first hike in Sedona! Today’s adventure is a 5–6 mile trek through the heart of Sedona. Along the way, we’ll be treated to jaw-dropping views of towering red canyon walls, peaceful pockets of lush greenery, and a stunning cave that’s practically begging for a group photo (or two).

After soaking up the sun and scenery, we’ll head back to our accommodations to freshen up before hitting the town for a well-earned dinner.

Back to the trails!

Energized from a good night's sleep, we’ll head out for a 4-mile hike to one of Sedona’s most iconic views.

Surrounded by juniper and prickly pear cacti, we’ll wind our way along natural rock steps toward the area’s largest natural sandstone arch, an awe-inspiring sight .

After soaking in the views, we’ll hike back to the van and begin our scenic drive to Page, Arizona. Once we arrive, we’ll check into our next accommodation and enjoy dinner together. Then it's off to bed to rest up for tomorrow's adventure!

Float the Colorado River!

Rise and shine, it’s rafting day! Today we’ll kick back and relax on a smooth float down the stunning Colorado River through Glen Canyon. As we cruise along, our raft guides will share fascinating stories about the canyon’s history and geology. We’ll stop to admire ancient petroglyphs, take refreshing dips in the water, and keep an eye out for rainbow trout and bighorn sheep.

The highlight of our float trip will be cruising around the breathtaking Horseshoe Bend, with plenty of time to soak in the view and snap some magazine-worthy photos.

After our half-day adventure on the water, we’ll return to our accommodations to rinse off the river, apply a little aloe to our sun-kissed cheeks, and head into town for a delicious dinner.

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument

It’s our last full day together and we’re making it count! We're putting our hiking boots back on and heading out to a 4–6 mile hike with expansive canyon vistas, sculpted rock formations, and stunning views of the winding Colorado River. It’s the kind of scenery that stops you in your tracks and makes you feel small in the best way.

After our hike, we’ll return to the van and make our way down to Flagstaff for our final evening together. We’ll celebrate and share laughs, favorite moments, and soak in the magic of everything we’ve experienced this week!

Departure

We’ll load up the van one last time and make our way back to the Phoenix Airport. There, we’ll share hugs and say goodbye to the new friends who we’ve shared this unforgettable journey with.

Though the adventure comes to an end today, you’re heading home with lifelong memories, a few new trail sisters, and stories that will stick with you for years to come.
