Within each area, there are many incredible rock formations to behold, historical landmarks, and unique vistas to be discovered.

After absorbing all that Sedona has to offer, we then head to the ancient Indian ruin sites. There are literally hundreds of ruins scattered all around Sedona, many miles deep into the area’s hidden canyons. Depending on the flow of your day, you have the ability to visit three unique Sedona Indian ruins. Our personal favorite is Montezuma Well, though we may also visit Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monument on this tour.

Allow your family to revel as you see what it was like for early inhabitants to the area we now know as the Verde Valley make this area home. You will get to see four unique types of Indian architecture or building styles, each one unique in its own right.

While at one of the ruin sites, enjoy a picnic with your family at the very site where they used to grow their crops.

Next, we head to Jerome, a historic copper mining town just West of Sedona. During its hay day, Jerome was one of the largest copper mining towns in the state employing over 15,000 people. In fact, prior to Arizona becoming a state on February 14, 1912, Jerome was one of the wildest towns in the west. While there, take a stroll down the historical past of our state and see historical buildings, the “sliding” jail, and the Gold King Mine Museum.

The Gold King Mine Museum is a wacky take on museums. For located within its premises are hundreds of historic vehicles, an old sawmill, places to pan for gold, feed the farm animals, crack open your own geodes, and even see old mine shafts going into Cleopatra Hill. Rest assured, the mine shafts are all properly secured for the safety of visitors. The Gold King Mine is popular among families traveling with young children.

By now, we imagine you have worked up an appetite. So our next stop is dinner at The Haunted Hamburger. For those of you that love a good burger, they make the best burger in the state. While enjoying your meal, look east towards Sedona and see a 200-degree view of Sedona red rocks from the higher elevation vantage point of Jerome. Try their “Haunted Burger” and twice-baked potato – so good!

After dinner, we meander back to Sedona and to your hotel. This is an on-road vehicle-based tour and typically lasts 10 – 12 hours. Your lunch, dinner, water, and any admission fees are all included in this tour.
