Among the most diverse group in the city is the city’s queer community, which embraces inclusion and intense cross-cultural interactions (!). Influenced by its southern neighbour in more ways than one, Tucson has a unique mix of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American heritage, making the city a progressive and exciting place to be.
Inching ever closer to the Mexican border, precisely two hours south of Phoenix by car, you’ll find the sunny city of Tucson. If a self-driving trip sounds like too much of a hassle, book a full-day trip from Phoenix to Sedona stopping off at top sites such as the 12 th century Montezuma Castle National Monument built into the cliffs near Camp Verde. In town, crystal healers and fortune tellers will also enjoy getting metaphysical with you, offering aura readings and the like. Suspend your disbelief on the Sedona Vortex Tour or zen out with a spa treatment or two, opting for traditional methods such as the red clay wrap or blue corn body scrub.

Otherwise, simply sit back at the pool lodge with a glass of local wine in hand enjoying the blissful contrast of blue sky against red rock.īesides its dazzling aesthetics, the town receives evermore favour for its supposed New Age powers, made so by Sedona’s location on a series of spiritual ‘vortexes’ said to align both mind and spirit. Get out in nature with a guided jeep tour, passing ancient ruins and rock wall art before branching off to hike any of the 100 hiking trails, such as the one leading to Cathedral Rock.
You’ve got Red Rock State Park, Slide Rock State Park and Oak Creek Canyon all within range, each offering their own distinct take on the red sandstone landscapes that put Sedona on the map.
Set between Yavapai and Coconino, Sedona boasts easy access to a bounty of natural treasures, in amongst canyons, pine forests and big red buttes. Flatteringly judged as one of America’s most beautiful places and the frequent backdrop for big blockbuster movies, Sedona is a desert town to be reckoned with.
