Why is it so hard to buy a gift for dad? Every year we say we are going to do something different, determined to get a gift that proves once and for all that we recognize his importance, and every year when Father’s Day rolls around again in June, we find ourselves once again stumped and once again picking out coffee mugs or crazy ties for the first man we ever loved and who seems to already have everything. Sedona.Org, however, thinks we have a solution to your problem, offering magic, beauty, and a truly excellent game of golf to your attention, as well as all the comforts of home found in our luxurious holiday hideaways. This guide will help you decide if indeed, a gift of a Sedona Father’s Day is what your dad needs in his life!
Breakfast of Kings
Everyone knows that all dad needs to be happy is a really good meal, and if his tastes run towards diners with casual surroundings, Rascal Modern American Diner & Bar may become his new happy place. Located at 2250 W State Route 89A and open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, if your dad is like our dads, you will find yourself back at this delicious spot more than a few times during your stay. Offering a very eclectic menu that includes shrimp & grits, wagyu burgers, and meatloaf, Rascals provides a chef driven meal, but don’t tell dad—everyone knows he doesn’t do fancy!
Great Adventures on Two Wheels
Not everyone is aware that dad had quite a vibrant life before he gave it all up to do dad stuff, and as such, a mountain bike adventure along the Scorpion Trail may help give him a feeling of nostalgia. This trail, one of Sedona’s Secret 7 adventures, lasts about 2 miles but can be extended another 1.2 miles if you think he would enjoy adding the Pyramid Trail to his itinerary. The Pyramid Trail is more challenging than the moderately challenging Scorpion Trail, but the views of Cathedral Rock will make the extra effort worth it. Thunder Mountain Bikes, 1695 AZ-89A, offers a fantastic selection of rental bikes, so there will be no need to lug your own along on the journey.
A Night Out
Chances are the entire family will be exhausted after their daytime adventures, but dad deserves at least one night out on the town, perhaps hanging with the locals while drinking beer, playing pool, and maybe even singing karaoke at the Full Moon Saloon. Located at 7000 AZ-179 and open every day from 4 PM to 2 AM, the Full Moon Saloon is a true Western bar, so don’t be surprised to encounter a few horses hitched up outside. In addition to all the things we listed above, there may be live music (generally a solo singer sitting on the stage, strumming a guitar for your listening enjoyment) your favorite sports will be playing on multiple screens mounted to the walls of the bar.
Father’s Fore Fun!
Although women love a good game of golf as well, it is the dads in our lives who take that love to new levels of obsession, and since we offer golf course properties, you might want to consider renting one of those to ensure you maintain your favored child (or spouse) status. Seven Canyons Golf Club at 625 Golf Club Way, offers one of the best courses in the state, and just so happens to be the site of some of our most comfortable golf course homes. Dad never has to be far from the fun when you rent these spaces and the course itself promises to make his golf dreams come true. The natural beauty of Sedona, along with the meticulous landscaping, creates a stunning course that is challenging without being intimidating, being designed by acclaimed Golf Architect, Tom Weiskopf.
Spending Time with Family
Even though he may never say it out loud, the times dad will appreciate most during his Sedona Father’s Day adventures are the ones spent with family. He has spent his life making sure you had enough money for your dates, that your oil was changed before you headed back to school in the next state, and working every minute of every day to ensure that your life is a comfortable one, and this time in Sedona is the perfect time to pay him back with all the love in your heart. Let dad choose the shows you watch on our state-of-the-art televisions, and if he falls asleep before they end, let it slide. You probably won’t be able to keep him away from the grills on the back deck, but you can serve him his burger the way he loves it prepared at the table by the pool. This Sedona escape will be one he never forgets. Reserve his favorite sanctuary today!
