The most detailed Arizona guide, quickly save it!

Bravely exploring Arizona in mid-July! 🌵 Sharing this super detailed summer escape guide~ Worried about the heat before departure, but found out only Phoenix and Las Vegas are in "oven mode" 🔥 Actually, Sedona is super cool in the mornings and evenings, you can even wear sun-protective clothing for hiking!

📍 Itinerary plan 📍

✨ DAY 1 First experience in Phoenix
Phoenix is the largest city in AZ ✈️ (Airport address: 3400 E Sky Harbor Blvd, Phoenix)
Very convenient as a transportation hub~

✨ DAY 2 Phoenix → Sedona
☀️ Must-visit in the morning:
✓ Desert Botanical Garden
Address: 1201 N Galvin Pkwy, Phoenix
Opening hours: 7:00-20:00
✓ ASU Art Museum
Address: 51 E 10th St, Tempe
Opening hours: 11:00-17:00 (Closed on Wednesdays)

⚠️ Heads up! Phoenix is really scorching hot 💥
40°C high temperatures keep hitting, even breathing feels like your nostrils are burning 🔥
Recommend leaving by noon, it’s only a 2-hour drive to Sedona~

🏨 Highly recommended:
Enchantment Resort 🏞️
Address: 525 Boynton Canyon Rd, Sedona
This hidden paradise surrounded by red rocks is truly amazing!
Surrounded by mountains + wild deer roaming 🦌
Every snap looks like a National Geographic cover photo 📸

✨ DAY 3-4 Slow life in Sedona
As a hiking newbie 🐔
Skipped the popular Subway Cave
But the hotel’s back door leads directly to hiking trails 🚶‍♀️
No need to look for parking, super friendly!

🌟 Secret spot: Chapel of the Holy Cross
Address: 780 Chapel Rd, Sedona
Opening hours: 9:00-17:00
The light and shadow at dusk are breathtaking 😭
The security uncle also tells legends about the two sacred mountains "Virgin Mary Holding Child" and "Praying Hands"~

🛍️ Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village
Address: 336 State Rte 179, Sedona
Personally think it’s okay for photos but not great for shopping
More suitable for artsy youth to check in~

💫 Don’t miss the evening!
Hotel stargazing 🌠 + hiking trail
(Remember to download offline maps ⚠️ there’s often no signal in the mountains)
