Hike to the top!
The heart of Sedona! Close to the Cathedral Rock vortex. It's on Oak Creek and there are amazing Sycamore trees and trails. Old pioneer ruins and a waterwheel are fun to inspect.
You can hike to Buddha Beach and build a cairn. It gets crowded in the summer as there are popular swimming spots nearby.
I love to meditate by the creek with the energy of Cathdral Rock and the big trees around.

Frases útiles
Woo-woo
This is the expression we use in Sedona to describe very new agey people and concepts. Everybody here is a little bit woo woo, but it is certainly a spectrum. It’s good to know where you fall on that spectrum. Get a sense of where any tour guides or practitioners are on the woo woo scale before you agree to subject yourself to their belief system. 
Costumbres y cultura
Respect the wildlife. 
We share the desert with many critters, including javelina, coyotes, deer, bobcats, and more. Educate yourself and be respectful of these desert dwellers. They do not want to harm you or to be harmed by you.
