Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I would definitely visit Wild West Mercantile when in Mesa. I can't leave the place without a few hundred bucks worth of new cowboy duds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 There's a small museum near downtown Sedona. Otherwise it's a beautiful place full of tourists. If you want a real fine meal try the Silver Saddle Room at the Cowboy Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Go for the biplane ride at the Sedona airport(top of the mesa, can't miss it), fantastic views. They have a Waco that seats 3, pilot and two close friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Irons Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My wife and I just returned from a trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Both were beautiful. Just the drive up through Sedona from the south was breathtaking. We visited Slide Rock State Park (and I did slide down the 50-degree-water-slide). One warning: on the 89a South, there is a store with a big banner that says "Wild West Something-or-other," and I was all excited. It turned out to be nothing but chintzy south-western "art" and bad perfume. Nothing Wild West about it. There is a nice genuine cowboy store on Sedona's main street, though. Small, but nice stuff. The name escapes me, but the street is small enough that you should find it. They have replica cowboy guns in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Bob Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Tuzigoot National park and Montezuma Castle National park. Buy the pass that is good for both parks. Cholla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardin Morningwood Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 ^^^good idea If you have 4 hours in Sedona and like ruins try the "Pink Jeep" tour of the Sinaguan cliff dwellings. Gives you a real nice sense of the areas past. (Other tour groups do the run as well but I don't have any experience with them) Oh and if you also have time to do Jerome, be sure to have dinner at "The Asylum" on the top of the mountain. Pricey but worth every dime for the food, atmosphere and views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you go over to Jerome, git some Fudge here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 In Sedona you can visit the Cowboy Corral, see Miss Kitty, she had a good selection of period correct clothing, yea and eat at the Cowboy Club, cactus fries and rattlesnake.

Conestoga Smith, SASS #18219 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 1+ on the Cowboy Corral. Check out their Exclusive Hats (Made expressly for Cowboy Corral) by Cripple Creek Hat Co. Last time we were there, found one that the wife fell in love with on me, and she insisted I get it. Fits and looks far better then any "off the rack" offering by any common maker, at least on MY melon. Jus' my 0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Kid, SASS #287 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Agree with Cowboy Corral - Miss Kitty is great. Sedona is a beautiful area, if you can go to Enchanment http://www.enchantmentresort.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 While you are in the Mesa area, give us a shout. Would love to make some new friends. Maybe we can go out for dinner. We know some really good, non gringo Mexican food establishments that offer up some good eat'in. If not into Mexican, we know of some other excellent places to dine. We shoot at Rio Salado and have a good time. Let me know and I will P.M. you with a phone number. I might have missed it, but what are the dates you plan on being here? Regards, Chas B.

Malpais Mike Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hello the camp! Yeah, whut Chaz and Vance Montata said.

Thomas Maverick Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hey all, I'm new here, one quick note to add for Sedona, you have to go to Sally's BBQ. It's quite literally a hole in the wall where you order the food from and then you go and eat in a small room that has all sorts of autographed photos of various celebrities on the walls. Best BBQ beef sandwich I've ever had! Just stop and ask anyone that works in the town and they will definitely be able to point you in the direction of the place. +1 on Jerome as well! It's only about 30 minutes away from Sedona and well worth the trip. I think total population for the town is under 700, nice and quaint.

Colt McCloud, SASS #65003L Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 If you go over to Jerome, git some Fudge here. Jerome is an old mining town way up atop the mountain!!! Great place to visit and yea the fudge was good!!!! Check out the town of Cave Creek and have dinner at the Buffalo Chip Saloon and watch the Bull Riding!!!

Miss Cubbie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Howdy, I grew up in Mesa and lived in Cottonwood until '06. If you like wine....when you're in Jerome visit the Caduceus Cellars Tasting Room. Wine is by novice winemaker M. J. Keenan. I bought several bottles when he first started producing and I think they're very nice. The vineyard is in Cornville on Page Springs Road. www.caduceuscellars.com Miss Cubbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
