items A few years ago my boyfriend and I took our first trip together out West - We flew into Phoenix, drove to Sedona, and Antelope Canyon- it was such a special trip! I loved it because they have a little bit of everything: hiking, shopping, and new expe...

Phoenix
We flew into Phoenix, started our trip here and ended our trip here.
We loved this hotel so much- so much so that we left and came back- and booked a couple more nights there! The area by the pool was so perfect for relaxing. I am still thinking about the fries and prickly pear ice pop.
Boutique Downtown Phoenix Hotel | Rise Uptown Hotel™
This came recommended to me before the trip and I was so happy it did- I LOVED it and spent way too long in here. There were unique gifts, special souveniers, and more.
Phoenix Boutique for Unique Gifts & More | Frances
Near Phoenix - a great healthy meal to rely on and great with dietary restrictions. Bigger cities have them- this was my first time trying and I seek them out now when traveling!
Scottsdale, AZ (Scottsdale Quarter)
There is a location near the hotel in Phoenix that we would walk to every morning. My boyfriend is an ex-barista and still talks about his coffee!
Home - Cartel Roasting Co
A must-see if you are in the area and new to that landscape. I was so happy we stopped by and got the chance to appreciate the different native plants.
Desert Botanical Garden
Sedona
So calm and serene, Sedona feels like you are on another planet- in the best way!
Creekside coffee is a great coffee and quick breakfast spot - they have a beautiful wrap around porch area with a view.

We came here a couple times for smoothies- great healthy option!
Local Juicery
Adorable treats- we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday at the time of the trip so a stop at a local bakery was a neccesity! The cactus cupcakes were too cute to pass up.
Cream and Cake Couture
Great coffee shop and shopping area!
L'espressino Coffee Shop - Sedona, AZ
Such special souvenirs - they are designed right there in front of you.
Global Candle Gallery
One of our favorite meals on this trip- absolutely incredible food!
Dahl's Butterfly Burger - Award winning Burgers, Shakes, Bourbon
Amazing healthy meal and beautiful, calm patio to enjoy your food.
ChocolaTree Organic Oasis in Sedona Arizona
This was our big hike that we did- my biggest tip would be to go early to get a good parking spot! Parking spots by the trailhead fill up so fast. Once you get to the top you do have to wait a bit for the photo opp but it is so worth it!
Devil's Bridge Trail
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I have ever been- the energy here is different than anything else I had felt before.
Chapel of the Holy Cross
Lake Powell
If I had to rank top 5 best days of my life, the day that we took the boat tour in Lake Powell is up there. Being from the east coast, the rock and water out that is nothing like I had ever seen- I loved having the experience of taking our own boat b...
