Sedona Christmas Trolley
One of the best routes to seeing the city from the convenience of an open-air car is to take a ride on the Sedona Trolley.

Choose between a 55-minute or two-hour tour for the chance to take in incredible sights, enjoy a narrated trip and of course, find yourself immersed in the spirit of the season!
Bell Rock Path
No matter what time of year you arrive in Sedona, it’s a destination that’s best experienced from the beautiful vantage point of a hiking path and the Sedona Christmas season is no exception. Make some time to trek the Bell Rock Path with a trailhead access point at 4999 State Route 179. This path is recognized as easy to walk, making it a perfect family hike destination. Amazing photographs and stunning scenery await when you make this your holiday hiking plan in Sedona.
Make It a Christmas to Remember
You’ve come this far, so don’t limit yourself now. Christmas time is one of the most magical times to experience northern Arizona in all of its glory. Many people are surprised to learn that Arizona gets snow. Just a short 30-minute drive from Sedona, you won’t regret a visit to the alpine air of Flagstaff. Sitting at over 7,000 feet, if you’re lucky there will be snow and you can go sledding. A visit up the San Francisco Peaks will guarantee some powdery fun, whether it’s sledding you have in mind or a day pass to Snowbowl Ski Resort. With a quaint downtown area, there’s plenty to explore. Or check with a local outfitter about cross-country ski or snowshoe rentals.
Another destination not to be missed is the Grand Canyon. Truly this wonder of the world is absolutely breathtaking in the winter months when the air is still, the snow is scattered, and the crowds are minimal. Head to the El Tovar Lodge for a cup of hot cocoa and soak in the breathtaking views from the warmth of their fireplace. You won’t believe the giant elk that peruse the area in search of food and the giant birds of prey that glide above the layers of canyon. When the outside gets too cold, head to the Imax Theater for an up-close view of this magnificent landmark.
