Day 1:
It’s your first day at the Inn On Oak Creek, you must enjoy the wonderful gourmet breakfast. A trip to the Palatki and Honanki Indian ruins and a moderate hike on the Loy Canyon Trail #5 will burn the breakfast calories. Come back to the Inn, relax and enjoy the hors d’oeuvres. Dinner at the Heartline Café will round out the day.
Day 2:
Catch an early breakfast at the Inn and drive to the Grand Canyon. It is about a 2.5 hour scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon, Flagstaff and the Painted Desert. Or drive to Williams and treat yourself to a ride on the Grand Canyon Train. Have lunch at the historic El Tovar at the South Rim. Drive back through the San Francisco Peaks and don’t forget to watch for the famous white buffalo herd. Return to the Inn, freshen up and WALK across the street for dinner at the Javelina Cantina.
Day 3:
Treat yourselves, sleep in and have a 9 a.m. breakfast outside on the dining deck overlooking the creek. Hike Huckaby Trail for a moderate to hard workout or Westfork for a leisurely hike along the stream with lush foliage and ponderosa pines. Your toughest decision for the day will be deciding between shopping at Tlaquepaque or spoiling yourself with an in-room massage. Complete this “day of delights” by having dinner at Dahl and DiLuca Ristorante Italiano.
Day 4:
Get up early and experience the splendor of a balloon ride with Red Rock Balloons. Enjoy a continental breakfast at your landing site or return to the Inn for our four-course breakfast. A nap is probably in order followed by a hike on any one of Sedona's 130 plus trails. If you prefer a larger group experience you may want to take a tour with Pink Jeep. Their Broken Arrow trip is an "E ticket ride", not for the faint of heart. Hors d’oeuvres at 5 o’clock and then off to a romantic dinner at Rene at Tlaquepaque – what more could you ask for!
Day 5:
After savoring another wonderful breakfast at the Inn, drive to the historic ghost town of Jerome for the day. Walking the hilly streets of town, you’ll have a great day visiting arts and crafts stores, antique stores, and the mining museum. The spectacular view of the Verde Valley from this mountain top town will take your breath away. Drive back down to Cottonwood and delight in dinner at Piñon Bistro (Thursday through Sunday). Enjoy your last night in Sedona with a delightful dinner at Savannahs or catch a movie at Harkins Theatres.
For the golfing enthusiasts, you can get in eighteen holes at either the Sedona Golf Resort or the Oak Creek Country Club. Both courses have stunning Red Rock Views. It’s a great way to spend the day!
