By day, Sedona’s dramatically sculpted red rock backcountry is the main draw for hikers, mountain bikers, rock climbers, and off-road “Jeepers.” But, at night, all eyes are on the skies. Named the world’s eighth International Dark Sky Community in 2014, Sedona (elevation 4,600 feet) is one of the best places in the world to witness celestial wonders such as a blue moon.
“Don’t think for a second that outdoor adventures end when the sun goes down in Sedona,” says Jennifer Wesselhoff of the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau. “That azure sky—so pure, perfect, and devastatingly blue all day—turns into a glittering blanket of heavenly bodies at night. Lack of light pollution combined with haze-free, low humidity desert skies make Sedona a paradise for stargazers.”
How to Get Around: Sedona is located in north-central Arizona two hours north of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport via I-17 North. From the airport, rent a car or book a commercial shuttle. In Sedona, rent a Jeep for a half or full day to four-wheel on roads and trails in the surrounding Coconino National Forest.
Where to Stay: Located within Boynton Canyon and surrounded by red rock cliffs, Enchantment Resort is an oasis with minimal light pollution. The 218 guest casitas, junior suites, haciendas, and casas each have a private deck, patio, or balcony. Guest activities include guided stargazing with a telescope (Tuesdays and Saturdays, weather permitting); a two-hour full moon hike and private guided hikes; a summer solstice celebration week (June 14-21) with Native American dances; and new moon and full moon-themed specialty treatments (available only around those moon phases) at the onsite Mii amo Spa.
Even the resort's restaurants are designed to optimize night views. On any full moon evening, watch the moon rise behind the Kachina Woman red rock formation from View 180, the indoor/outdoor, tapas-style restaurant and lounge.
What to Eat or Drink: Prickly pear cactus, also called “tuna” (the fruit part) and “paddles” (the leaves), is a local staple. Try the cactus fries (de-prickled, breaded, and flash-cooked paddles) with prickly pear dipping sauce at Cowboy Club Grille & Spirits in Sedona’s arts district. Prickly pear sweet fruit nectar is used to make jams, jellies, cocktails, ice cream, and more. Sit under the stars on the Barking Frog Grille outdoor patio, and sip a desert mojito (mixed with prickly pear cactus juice) or a prickly pear margarita.
What to Buy: Shop for Sedona-themed gifts, including handcrafted ceramics, weavings, blown glass, Native American jewelry, Hopi katsina figures, and Navajo sand paintings, at Tlaquepaque (pronounced Tla-keh-PAH-keh) Arts & Crafts Village. Designed in the 1970s to replicate a traditional Mexican village with stone walkways and vine-covered stucco facades, Tlaquepaque is home to over 40 galleries and shops. Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. (Closed Christmas and Thanksgiving.)
What to Read Before You Go: The current edition of Terence Dickinson’s classic stargazers’ resource, Night Watch: A Practical Guide to the Universe is updated for use through 2025 and includes helpful night-sky charts and astronomical photography tips.

Fun Fact: It takes more than three and a half hours to drive south from Sedona to Tucson. That’s time well spent if you’re heading to Bloom Night at Tohono Chul. The Tucson park is home to the nation’s largest collection of the night-blooming cereus Peniocereus greggii, known as the "queen of the night." Most of the flowers bloom on a single night between mid-May and mid-July. Join the park’sBloom Watch email list to get the date (sometimes with only 12 hours' notice) of this year’s Bloom Night.
Staff Tip: Enchantment Resort, spectacularly set in Boynton Canyon, has access right from the property to hiking trails that head into the red rocks. Head out early to catch sunrise at Kachina Woman, the sentinel of the canyon, for unparalleled views of the valley and the Coconino National Forest; look for hot-air balloon rides launching in the distance. The area around Kachina is an energy vortex and is said to have uplifting effects. Follow your hike with a frittata and smoothie at the Mii Amo Spa café. Ask your server if the "angel" (or any other defined shadows that they've named) has appeared on the canyon wall viewable from the windows of the café. For a totally different experience, drive to Oak Creek Canyon—often described as the smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon and noted for its scenic beauty—for a hike along Oak Creek, a tributary of the Verde River. Overnight in a cozy cabin (with stone walls, fireplaces, and Native American-inspired furnishings) at Briar Patch Inn, a hidden find situated on the lush banks of the creek. —Susan O'Keefe, associate editor, National Geographic Traveler
