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.

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

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.
