A week of red rocks and sunlit skies – Sedona is something special. A quaint little town, nestled in the midst of canyons and rock formations, it’s a tranquil and picturesque respite. Sedona is quite spiritual, which isn’t for everyone, but it is also a place that emphasizes wellness and peace, and I think the world needs more of that these days. We drove to Sedona and took a day trip to the Grand Canyon; its vastness is astonishing, and pictures don’t do it justice, but I tried anyway. Hope these snapshots of hikes, skies, and stars make you love Sedona as much as I did.
Woke up at 7am every day, thanks to large windows and early morning light. Plus side: I got to see pretty skies like these.
We went on many day hikes to canyons, rock-filled trails, and vortexes, elevated areas said to emanate certain energy. Wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be feeling, but the vortex vistas were still beautiful.

Took a day trip to the Grand Canyon, which was jaw-dropping. Definitely one of those places you need to see in person to appreciate its impressive scale, but I took some photos at my favorite vista point, anyway.
With the sunrises came pretty sunsets, the rocks glowing in red, orange, and purple hues.
And finally, the stars. Countless little dots, twinkling throughout the inky black sky.
I would have stayed in Sedona another week, if possible. A feel-good place, for sure.
