While you could easily spend a long weekend in Sedona hiking the trails, meandering through the galleries, and gazing up at the starry skies, it’s not always in the cards. I live in Phoenix—a mere two hours away—and I can rarely get away for more than a day. My out-of-state visitors often budget a single day in Sedona, and that’s OK. I let them know that they can easily experience the best of Sedona in 24 hours.
