So guys yesterday I'm in possibly one of the prettiest places in America look at
this place hi guys welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list and
today I am in the town of Sedona this is possibly one of the prettiest places you
will ever come to in your life I mean just take a look at that scenery
seriously guys this is what it actually looks like when you get here and it
stretches on for miles and miles so you've got plenty of things to look at
whilst you're here in Sedona and trust me I had an amazing time and here's why
now this place will take you about an hour's drive from Flagstaff or an hour
and a half drive from Phoenix but it's definitely definitely worth the drive it
was like driving a giant racetrack seriously guys the drive to Sedona
itself it's it's pretty cool but just look at the view Wow
I've just gone along that really twisty road and that was an amazing Drive in
itself that probably was worth about $10 worth of of track driving money but you
know look at the scenery around here guys I've just literally come out of a
desert and now it appears I'm in some kind of forest this place is cool now
honestly guys I thought Sedona was just the name of the forest or the National
Park turns out sadhana is an actual town and
what a town it is look at this this is cool
I mean seriously people live out here
everything that you think of for all time America an old western town
everything made of wood log cabins Native American stuff yeah it's pretty
much all here on the fact that when you look up you see these amazing rock
formations this place is incredible the first stop
has to be the Sedona Visitor Center the guys here are very very helpful they'll
tell you where the best places to go are they'll tell you where the best places
to eat are so guys you get this helpful information here I mean that this is
this is very helpful but way too much information for me it's pretty handy I
guess they give you maps and they can tell you roughly what to do but this
that's amazing I'm in a high car at the moment and what I've done is I've got a
map from the visitor center and I'm going to various places that I think
would make a good vantage points this being one of them this is the airport
overlook and it's right next to Sedona airports which I didn't realize that
they had an airport but yeah it's right over there
you get an amazing view of the town of Sedona right from the airport so after
taking in the breathtaking sights at the airport's approach I decided you know
what let's drive around and see where else I could find whilst driving I
spotted this in the distance and I thought hey why not we're going to see
if I could scale this thing over here
yep that one and even though this is a national park
this was definitely no walk in the park it was bloody difficult and hard work my
destination guys is only there well realistically I think I'm only halfway
up but even halfway up check out the view I mean holy cow this is pretty up
here alright guys I've hit a brick wall quite literally this thing is pretty
vertical I got to see if I can find another way around let's try to get to
the top oh boy this is tiring I've done it check this out we'll walk right up
there obviously I can't climb that because it's pretty vertical but yeah I
reached the top I reach the top I'll wash your reward for reaching the top
check this out
alright guys so here's the car here's my car and that's where I've just climbed
from or to the way down it was a bit easier there's a few trails that kind of
spiral you around place so that was ok but yeah climbing up the thing that is
hard work but the views the views these are definitely worth it honey a shower
so after a makeshift shower basically consisting of a water bottle and a towel
I decided to drive on just to see what else there is to see now if you fold the
map from the Visitor Center you'll come across some of the most famous rocks on
the planet and boy is it worth the drive and the effort to get there and
obviously feel free to stop the car at any point and just explore what's around
you now if I had to do it all over again I'd
probably take a trolley just like these guys in front of me we're by someone's
actually teaching you what these rocks are about but I was on a budget and I
decided to do it all myself but it's not overtly difficult you can literally park
in any designated parking space and just hike around that's your own leisure I
mean this really is a magical place and I thoroughly enjoyed my day here at
Sedona and I'm sure you will as well check the maps because there are
numerous places that you can park for free but the most popular ones and the
most picturesque ones you do have to pay for you'll need to buy a Red Rock pass
which costs $5 and this all are you parking in pretty much the premium car
parks dotted around Sedona now if you don't feel like driving or you're not in
a higher car there are numerous tour companies in the
town that will take you to pretty much everywhere you want to go you can go on
trolleys you can go on this pretty cool outdoor 4x4 thing and you can even fly
if you have the budget obviously I don't have that so that's why I'm in a car if
you're into hiking if you're into biking if you have a motorcycle or even if you
just want to drive the place the scenery is very picturesque the roads are very
smooth and clean and overall this is a great outdoorsy place I'm not kidding
guys I really am in awe of this place I know I went to the Grand Canyon
yesterday but I actually prefer Sedona it's not overtly crowded you can drive
around it didn't cost anything to get in here yeah what's that not to like ok
Nina I'm sold I want to go to Sedona what do I do
well you need to come to Sedona it's an hour's drive from Flagstaff an hour and
a half drive from Phoenix you could fly here but there's only a small airport
but cost of business a donor it costs absolutely nothing but the park in the
premium car parks he'll cost ya $5.00 Red Rock house and if you decide to take
a tour it'll range you from anywhere between 15 and 45 dollars obviously if
you took the helicopter one that'll cost you significantly more is there anything
else I need to know yes plan your stops in advance circle the stops that you
want to go to and just go with that I guarantee that you'll have a great time
here it's it's very very pretty I'm not gonna lie and it's a shame that
I've got so little time to spend here otherwise I'd spend a couple of days
here definitely guys you really have to add this to your bucket list I'm not
kidding you'll thank me once you've seen this place guys if you've enjoyed this
