About this trip

Let’s go to the mystical high desert of Arizona in beautiful Sedona! This is the ideal location for hiking with gorgeous views around every turn while enjoying perfect fall weather. We will enjoy the trendy shops and restaurants of Sedona and help support the local economy! A day trip to the stunning rock waves of Antelope Canyon and gorgeous Horseshoe Bend will surely be a highlight of this trip! Grab your hiking boots and join us for this epic adventure!

Important Notes

Activity Level – Moderate

We are in one of the most beautiful hiking destinations in the United States, so we will be hiking daily! The hikes are rated as moderate and will have some minor scrambling over boulders with some shale and uneven ground. We suggest you prepare for these hikes by hitting some local hikes that have some elevation gain and/or hit the stair-stepper at the gym to get your lungs and legs in shape.

Note: Sedona sits at a high elevation (4,360′), so try to do some high elevation hikes to prepare if you have them available in your local area.

Weather

Sedona see highs in the 60s-70s in the day in November with lows in the 40s-50s. Perfect hiking weather!

Antelope Canyon is the most visited, most photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It’s one of the most famous in the world, known for light beams peering down through walls of Navajo Sandstone.

Along our drive through Oak Creek Canyon, we’ll see the San Francisco Peaks overlooking Flagstaff and the Painted Desert, a colorful landscape of every hue.

Our experienced local guide will share insights about the ancient cultures, geology, flora and fauna along the way. We’ll see the Navajo Nation, the largest Indian reservation in the United States, and learn about its people.

The mighty Colorado River cuts through Glen Canyon 1,100 feet below and unveils how the bend got its name. We’ll have lunch at Glen Canyon Dam and see Lake Powell, America’s second-largest, man-made lake.

In Page, Arizona we’ll meet our Navajo Guide for a 60- to 90-minute tour of Lower Antelope Canyon. We’ll descend into an amazing slot canyon carved by flash floods and eroding winds and learn about the many colors of Navajo Sandstone and why the canyon is sacred. Our Navajo Guide will offer tips for taking dazzling images of the narrow passages.

On the way back to Sedona, we’ll stop at Cameron Trading Post to shop for authentic Native American art and souvenirs.

After returning to Sedona, we will enjoy a group dinner.

Reviews

What a fabulous trip to Greece and the islands of Santorini and Mykonos! This is my second trip with Chicas Abroad and both trips have been stellar. Last year I hiked the Camino De Santiago trail with the Chicas and had a blast. The hotels are top of the line. You won’t be disappointed. I love that everything is arranged for you and all you have to do is enjoy! No stress on vacation as Melanie and her trip leaders take care of everything. The activities and tours are carefully chosen and all have been fabulous. And you get to make new friends with your fellow travelers. If you are looking for a tour company that is top of the line, check out ChicasAbroad.com for all of their fabulous trips! I am already looking forward to my next trip with the Chicas!

By Patricia M for Greece Adventure on May 20, 2024

Just returned from 8 days in Greece with Chicas Abroad! What an amazing trip. From Athens to Santorini to Mykonos back to Athens. From the time I landed until the time I left I didn’t have to think about a thing. Everything was thoughtfully planned, including free time to explore and to see all of the relevant sights. It was a dream vacation. I have met wonderful ladies from all across the country, whom I will remain friends with for years to come. Melanie and Kathy were the most excellent Chicas guides! I loved every single minute. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

By Kristen H for Greece Adventure on May 26, 2024

Melanie and Kathy did a wonderful job organizing our trip. All events flowed smoothly and we saw some amazing sites. I got to know some fantastic women and look forward to seeing them again on some of my future trips with Chica’s Abroad!

By Kristi B for Greece Adventure on May 29, 2024

I traveled to Greece with 2 friends from my hometown and we had a wonderful time. However, the Chicas Abroad leaders, Melanie and Kathy had all the details planned extremely well and everyone was so nice that I would not hesitate to take another Chicas’ trip on my own. What a confidence booster! It was a super experience all the way around. Great job ladies!

By Kim E for Greece Adventure on Jun 10, 2024

This was my first trip with the Chicas. It will not be my last! The accommodations were top notch. The activity level was very active, we truly had great adventure. I learned so much thru the people I met. There was a real sence of belonging. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun as well. I started out with strangers but gained a new group of strong friends with these ladies. It was an unforgettable experience.

By Marlene B for Northern Italy Food & Wine Adventure on Jul 01, 2024

This trip felt “intimate” and very cultural. I enjoyed meeting meeting the food artisans in their shops (pasta, chocolate, dairy). The chefs and owners of several restaurants came to our table to welcome us, and will always remember dinner at Monica’s family home.

By Linda M for Northern Italy Food & Wine Adventure on Jul 03, 2024

We could not have had the experience we had without your assistance. From the driver who picked us up from the airport to the driver of the 55 passenger bus the drivers were amazing. Having a guide for every excursion/tour was a must. Our tickets were ready, no lines to wait in, and having a knowledgeable guide was so appreciated!!! We were able to see everything we hoped to. Our time in Grimaldi was so special…we didn’t know what to expect. The people of Grimaldi were so kind and made us feel very welcomed. A trip of a lifetime that we were able to experience as a family🇮🇹❤️

By Michele H for Naccarato Italy Trip on Jul 07, 2024

Absolutely beautiful beyond words! Inspiring women, trip details were well organized, a lot of fun, laughter and smiles.

By susan k for Canadian Rockies Hiking & e-Biking Adventure on Jul 23, 2024

My niece and I went on this trip together and the memories and experiences we gained are something I will always cherish. The trip was perfectly planned, the group was full of kind and fun women, and the itinerary was challenging while also safe and enjoyable. I will definitely be checking back in to book a future Chicas Abroad trip!
