If you’re visiting Phoenix, make time for a day trip to Sedona—it’s a non-negotiable. Just a two-hour drive and boom, you’re surrounded by those jaw-dropping red rock formations. Hike a few trails, check out the art galleries, or stop by the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a church literally built into the rock. The energy in Sedona is something else—some people swear by the vortexes (natural energy spots), but even if you're sceptical, it’s a beautiful, peaceful escape from the city.
