14. Balloon Expedition
Wake up before daybreak and soar above the Sedona landscape and surrounding area in a hot air balloon. Normally, six or seven passengers go up together. If you have a family that size you’ll be alone in the balloon in the quiet of dawn. Enjoy a real birds-eye view of all the different places you might already have seen or look down on the places you are planning to check out later.
15. The Montezuma Castle National Monument
The Montezuma Castle National Monument can be found under an hour south of Sedona. The 20 rooms here were constructed of stone and mud. Oddly some online sources indicate that It was named in tribute to the legendary Aztec Emperor who reportedly was not even born when the buildings were erected.
(No doubt the original residents called it something else.) The Sinagua people resided here between the 1100s and 1400s. It is said to be the best-preserved place of its kind in the area. It is only a short hike to get to the site.
