Driving to Sights nearby
One option on your way from Phoenix is this Phoenix to Sedona road trip: drive for about 41 minutes, then stop in Cave Creek and stay for about 1 hour. Next, drive for another 1 hour then stop at Montezuma Castle National Monument and stay for 1 hour. It's a leisurely way to get there and feel like you've arrived to the landscape gradually.
Another option on your way from Phoenix is Black Canyon City. This small desert town sits 46 miles and about 45 minutes outside of Phoenix and hugs the western edge of the Tonto National Forest.
The Grand Canyon is just 117 miles away! if you've never seen it, it is definitely worth a side trip. As our event ends on Sunday March 1st at 1 pm, you'll have time! Or you could arrive earlier and go there for sunrise on the Friday February 28th, as we don't start registration that day until 1 pm.
Lodging Suggestions
Our venue is in West Sedona.
A hotel that is on or near route 89 A in West Sedona will be quite close. A search on hotels.com turned up 20 places to stay from $99-$250 per night that were all a half hour walk, or seven minutes drive, from the venue.
If you search for nearby landmarks, look for lodgings in the vicinity of the landmark Sunset Trail, West Sedona. The venue Seven Centers Yoga Arts is quite close to the trailhead, (which will make for fun exploring!)
Lodgings on route 179 in West Sedona will be about 10-12 minutes drive from the venue, and a little cheaper in price than the ones on route 89A.
