A bit overrun with tourist vehicles during popular times (like mid-afternoon to sunset) but a fantastic view and loop hike if you can get an early enough start. Airport Mesa is known locally as a "masculine" vortex, so not the most relaxing place to star if you have just arrived in town and feel a bit ungrounded or anxious. Start with Red Rock Crossing or even Cathedral Rock.

Make sure you have your sunscreen and water. The breeze can feel cool in the mountains but the sun effect is still very quick to burn. We did a three mile trail and were embarrassed when a couple in their late 70s had just finished 5 miles in the upper mountain trail!

The easiest panoramic view of Sedona you can find. Everyone should visit here at least once in their life.
