Start your awesome day with the magic of a Sedona sunrise atop Airport Mesa and Vortex. Take in panoramic views of the town and surrounding mountains as the sky transforms before your eyes. Notice the twisted Juniper tree on the trail to the vortex. Junipers are native to the Coconino Forest and some have been twisted by weather over many years. Some say such a tree is a sign of powerful energy nearby. This vortex energy is considered a positive spiritual force that impacts one’s wellbeing. Whether you believe in the power of the vortexes or not, these distinctive trees are beautiful. Enjoy them.

If you’re looking for a great sunrise experience in the Village of Oak Creek, located 5 miles north of Sedona city limits, look no further than Bell Rock. This spot is a well-known vortex that offers serenity and breathtaking views, making it popular for both sunrise and sunset. You can hike all the way to the top for an amazing experience, or simply sit anywhere along the trail to enjoy a beautiful light show as the sun reflects off the red rocks.

Pump House Station Urban Eatery and Market is a cozy, rustic cafe with a front porch and patio. Order at the counter as you walk in. The best morning bites are eggs benedict, omelets, quiches, and burritos. Locals often stop in for a cup of the freshly roasted fair trade organic coffee. The comfortable, mismatched furniture will make you feel right at home and tempt you to linger over a second cup of coffee.

This charming cafe is a hidden gem tucked inside the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village.  The tranquil atmosphere on the lovely patio overlooking a garden and water feature sets a calm tempo for your day. The cafe offers a variety of dishes made with local ingredients and can adjust most meals to suit your dietary preferences.
