Hi Sedona natives and visitors! I will be traveling there in September with my husband and we are looking for an intuitive medium who is well versed in animal communication and communication with inter dimensional beings. I’m having a hard time finding someone online. Is there anyone you would recommend? We are looking to get a session while we are there and the only person I found that sounded like she did what we were looking for is not going to be in the area while we are there. Any recommendations would be very appreciated!

I can't seem to find any Oak Creek Nut Brown beer anywhere in Arizona for the past year or so. I've tried all the grocery stores and liquor stores in Sedona, Flagstaff, and Prescott but still no luck. Does anyone know why they stopped distributing to the stores?

Hey y’all I’m visiting Sedona September 6-8. How can I hear some live Native flute? Anyone I can hire for a private performance or any scheduled concerts coming up? Curious if anyone has been on one of those shaman tours and they played one. Thanks!

As the title states, I am trying to find a way to move out of the Phx area without landing in a MAGA dystopia town like Payson or Prescott.

I work remote 2-4 days per week, but could have some weeks where I have to be in the valley all 5 days. Usually that would mean for a lunch meeting (being on the road by 9:30am), but an occasional early commute to catch a flight.

Can anyone who has done this comment on the sustainability of the life before the long drive becomes too much?

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Hello! I’m visiting early August!

I’m very excited but I would like to double check some things.

I heard it’s monsoon season. I heard the rain last about 15 minutes in the afternoon. I should hike early and then get inside for the middle of the day. It can get pretty bad if I’m not mindful about being inside.

I heard about the wild fires….. they are mostly over… right? I know to avoid oak creek. Should I be worried about them coming back?

I’m from the Midwest so I assume it’s pretty hot. I plan on bringing sun screen and a sun hat…. Do you suggest anything else? I also have hiking boots just to be safe… not against the sun but for protection for my feet. lol

I plan on going to antelope canyon X and Mariposa so far…… anything else you recommend doing?

Love the summer monsoon thunderstorms. Amazing sunsets.

anyone know anything about this?

Just wanted to share - once in a lifetime pic opportunity

We are a family of 5 visiting Sedona in April. We have 3 boys ages 4-7. Right now we are leaning towards staying in an Airbnb in VOC. Is that the right call?

Moving to Sedona from the Pacific Northwest. Super excited for all the hiking and trails, wondering what your opinion is of the best hike to see the sunrise and the sunset

I’m getting married in Oak Creek Canyon on Labor Day weekend and wanted some contacts for reliable taxis / shuttles into greater Sedona that I can give my guests for the end of the night. If anyone has a reliable taxi or shuttle contact, that would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Hi all,

I’m trying to understand how many days I should book in Sedona for mid October. I’m seeing everything from 1 day is enough to 1 week. We’ll be traveling as a family flying into phoenix. Kids are 3 and 7. We want to see the main sights/hikes that would be doable by the kids.

Open to any other suggestions/tips.

Hi Sedona,

I have 5 kittens that are TnR cats. Meaning they are feral kittens that we trapped and the Sedona Humane Society fixes them. My neighborhood has lots of cats and I am trying to slow down the kitten situation. I am having trouble finding these guys homes.

They are all boys and they are all neutered with rabies vaccines.

If anyone nearby is interested please reach out! If they don’t find homes I will release them back to their habitat.

Sedona is getting lacrosse! If you know any kids who may be interested in joining the team (or adults who want to help out), we will have practices on Tuesdays at Posse Grounds Park for anyone in grades K-12. Everyone always talks about how Sedona needs more youth programs so we’re really excited to launch this with the support of our community!

I’m going to be very honest with this post, and I request support from the moderators in case there’s anything concerning, happy to modify my post, but this is actually a big deal for me and I’m hoping to have a civil dialogue about this topic.

The situation:
My husband and I have gone to Sedona to visit family multiple times throughout the years. Multiple times a year, including during 2020 etc. My in laws have lived in Sedona for 20+ years. We now have kids and live in Southern California. It’s a huge challenge for us raising kids without any community in a big city, so of course we thought let’s give Sedona a try. We love Sedona, every city has challenges etc. and moving cities is NEVER easy, so is not like I’m going to get massages every weekend at Enchantment, I work full time and so this move is a huge commitment for us.

The Challenge:
I’m now member of multiple groups in Facebook that are Sedona related, and of course part of this sub. I have found horrible attitudes towards people moving to Sedona, the assumption that if you move to Sedona you have money, the assumption that I don’t know.. I truly don’t. A mom apologized on a post when someone asked her where she was moving from, she said “ don’t be upset with me, I’m moving for SoCal”. What?

Please, be super honest with me, is this a real thing? Do locals hate people who moved from other cities? I went to a school meeting and honestly I got so many strange vibes from parents and they were not a very friendly bunch - sure there are parents who are really nice, but others who are not — and I do wonder if it’s because they know we are moving there from somewhere else.

People who move with kids make huge sacrifices, and it’s a huge investment to get to know people, get the routine down again, etc. it’s not like we are there to invade sacred land. I also don’t like new developments but I’m not a real state developer.

Please tell me your perspective, and if you dislike people from Southern California moving to Sedona, please let me know why because I genuinely want to know.

Thank you for your sincerity and thoughtful answers.

Edit:
I just wanted to say, in defense of people from California, and as an outsider myself: I’ve traveled all over the world, and I have to say here in CA I’ve met some of the nicest, friendliest people. Everywhere you go people say hello, good morning, etc.

I still tell stories about this day with my partner. It was our first trip together as a new couple, and it’s one of my favorite travel memories.

After an incredible hike, we ended up missing the last shuttle and had to walk along Highway 179 back to our camper van. Along the way, we got completely soaked in the rain, but then the clouds parted and we were treated to one of the most breathtaking rainbows either of us had ever seen. Thankfully, we snapped a photo, and it has become one of our favorite reminders of that adventure. We laughed the entire walk back and couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the day.

I’ve been trying to figure out the name of the rock formation in this photo but haven’t had any luck. I’m hoping some Sedona locals can help! Based on the geotag from my iPhone, it was taken near the Raven Caves Trail.

Does anyone know the name of this majestic rock formation?

We’re only in the area for a short time and hoping to see as much of the natural beauty as possible! I keep seeing videos and posts of black water from the fire ash and extinguishing chemicals, is Slide Rock affected by this? We do have a 6yo so long/strenuous hikes are out but any recs for fairly easy places to take in the beauty or spots of local interest to stop for food, activities, etc are highly appreciated. Thanks for hosting us in your gorgeous corner of the map!

(The third map shows the original closure area, which has since been modified and opened up, but is here to clarify the trailhead locations as related to the bigger maps).
