Visit Slide Rock State Park
Slide Rock State Park is famous for its 80-foot-long natural water slide, created from sandstone that has been worn away from water over the centuries and in the summer months it is where visitors and locals cool off when the mercury is rising. The park was once an apple orchard and many of its trees remain, so if you are here in October, you can pay to pick your own, enjoying a sweet and healthy treat when you get back to your Sedona weekend getaway. Also a good place to go trout fishing, hiking, and swimming, you could spend an entire day exploring all that this state park has to offer. Park entry is $20 per car.
