Oak Creek Canyon

View from the relaxing deck at Junipine in Oak Creek Canyon

Take a scenic drive down 89A from Flagstaff through Oak Creek Canyon to see how quickly the landscape can change from cool pines to warm red rocks. Heading south out of town on 89A you can first stop at a scenic overlook of the canyon (about 10 minutes from town). There are also often Native American crafts and jewelry for sale here and a great spot for taking in the views.
Once down in the canyon, you’ll find some campgrounds, hiking trails, Slide Rock Stake Park, even some hotels and restaurants. If you want to get out and hike around, you’ll need a Red Rock pass to park on the side of the road. At the south end of the canyon just before you get to Sedona, you can find lots of great coupons in the market area next to Dairy Queen. These coupons can get you 10% off many of Sedona’s restaurants including the tasty Sonoran food of Javelina Cantina and others.
