From Trolley Tour to Tour of the Universe: Sedona

Begin your day with a trolley tour of Sedona and its breathtaking surroundings. Spend the afternoon hiking, fishing, bird-watching or attending interpretation programs at Red Rock State Park, where picnicking is a pleasure and kids can complete the Junior Ranger Program. Back in town, peruse Southwestern gifts, art, books and toys at the copious boutiques tucked into Sedona’s red hillsides, before enjoying a steak dinner or some international cuisine. After a lovely sunset, wrap up the day with an Evening Sky Tours “tour of the universe,” glimpsing stars, planets and meteor showers with telescopes or the naked eye. 928.282.4211, www.sedonatrolley.com; 928.282.6907, www.azstateparks.gov/Parks/RERO; 928.203.0006, www.eveningskytours.com.
