• May-Low 49; High 81:As Spring moves into Summer, come enjoy the last of the cool days in Red Rock country.  It's not quite warm enough to swim, but it's the perfect time of year to enjoy the jacuzzi under the wide open starlit sky.

Barrett Jackson Scottsdale Hotels in Sedona

Tweet

 

The Barrett Jackson car show comes to Scottsdale, AZ every January.  Many of the participants enjoy the scenic drive up to Sedona, AZ, which offers some of the most "interesting drives" in the Southwest.  Many of the Sedona Hotels, like the Southwest Inn at Sedona offer winter specials, so plan your drive up to Sedona to enjoy one of these incredible drives:

1. Rather than drive up Interstate 17N, enjoy the scenic drive up Arizona Hwy 87 North.  You will go through the charming towns of Payson, Pine and Strawberry, as you drive through the Saguaro Cactus Forest.  Continue north, until you reach the AZ Hwy 260, which becomes the Zane Grey Highway to Cottonwood.  Then turn north onto AZ HWY 89A and continue to Sedona.
2. Once in Sedona, you can drive back towards Cottonwood, and then follow 89A up to the historic old mining town of Jerome, where many artists now practice their trade.
3. Back on 89A, if you are leaving the Southwest Inn at Sedona:  go towards Cottnowood, but turn left at the intersection, outside of town, onto Cornville Road.  Continue until you reach the "old wooden" gas station on Page Springs Road.  Turn left onto Page Springs Road and enjoy the drive and the beauty, as you drive through the wine section of Northern Arizona. 
4. Driving north, through Sedona, take the 89A up Oak Creek Canyon towards Flagstaff.  You will see why this short highway has been called the most beautiful highway in North America.
5. Finally, the grandaddy of them all:  take the drive north to the Grand Canyon--what else can we say?

New York Times cites Sedona Bed and Breakfast's breakfast

Tweet

 

The secret of the Southwest Inn at Sedona's vegetarian breakfast burrito is out of the bag:  the New York Times has recently cited the Indian Tribe in Mexico, from whom we created the most unique breakfast that you will ever have at a Sedona Bed and Breakfast, or any other B & B for that matter.  The Innkeeper's of the Southwest Inn at Sedona created and named their burrito after the famed Tarahumara Tribe that inhabits the Copper Canyon region of Mexico, while tuning up for the Worlds Toughest Triathlon, back in 1989. 

Now, what has been a staple of our families diet for over 22 years is shared daily with our guests at the Southwest Inn at Sedona.  If there is a more perfect food combination for energy, staminia and overall health, we do not know of it.  But what we do know is this:  after eating one of our Tarahumara Burritos, and spending some time hiking amongst the Vortex sites of Sedona, and then climbing into our outdoor jacuzzi and staring up at the Sedona night sky, you might never feel this good again.

Give us a call-(800-483-7422), and let us help you rejuvinate your life at the Southwest Inn at Sedona with our Tarahumara Burrito.
