Trip Itinerary
Would anyone be willing to review my husband and I’s trip itinerary for Sedona, the second week in June? We are still trying to decide what to do Sunday morning. We originally planned for the pink jeep tour, but we decided to scratch that. We are healthy and active 31yos. We enjoy hiking, but nothing too crazy. We would love restaurant, hiking, shopping, and any other recommendations you have. Thank you so much!
