Day Trips From Sedona

We had two main destinations outside of Sedona during our travel to the area – Jerome Arizona and the Grand Canyon.

Jerome Arizona Day Trip

We booked the Jerome History Walk tour with the Jerome Ghost Tours company.  The small group tour explored the once-booming mining history of the area, visiting key locations in town. We loved listening to stories about the old mining town, saloon escapes, and the rise and decline of Jerome.

When in Jerome, we highly recommend The Clinkscale for dining.  Our lunch there was fantastic!

We started our day attending church at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in nearby Clarkdale, Arizona.  After mass, we strolled the town, which offered a wonderful small-town America feel.

Grand Canyon Railway Tour

Our next day trip adventure was riding about The Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, AZ, to the Grand Canyon Village. The vintage train traveled through beautiful plains and canyons. We enjoyed the live entertainment including Wild West shoot-out before our ride, and musicians who serenaded us during the journey. 

If you haven’t seen the Grand Canyon dusted with snow, it is quite a sight to see.

Downtown Sedona Visit

We also take a quick stop in Downtown Sedona for shopping, coffee, and browsing the art galleries at the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village.

 

Zane Grey RV Village

Our week-long stay near Sedona was at the Zane Grey RV Village in Camp Verde. We provide a recap of this stay on today’s episode.
