What do to in Sedona on NYE?

December 30, 2007 3:37 PM

My wife and I are in Sedona, AZ for New Year's Eve. What should we do?

We're eating at Yavapai in a couple hours, but we've nothing special planned to ring in the new year...

Any Sedona MeFites know of anything?
Bonus Question: We love the red & green chilis? Any hot tips on where to eat breakfast/lunch?

Sunset at Airport Mesa is out standing, down where you cross Oak Creek is a bunch of restaurants, there is a micro-brewery good beer and food, get the sampler.

My favorite drive in the whole world is 89 north of Sedona upto Flagstaff.

Go on a pink jeep tour.

Try a hot air balloon ride.

Get couples massages, check out the spa at the Hilton or

Breakfeast at L'Auberge Restaurant on Oak Creek is awesone, get the French Toast.

I've never been there, but it rang a bell, and it's because there are some cool archaeological sites around there, such as Eden Pueblo.. More info here. (OK, so maybe it isn't everyone's idea of a rocking New Year's event to hang out with dead people, but it looks like that last link has a lot of other sections too on Sedona).

The only place I go to with any regularity in Sedona is the Oak Creek Brewery (so, basically, I second neilpede).

The impression I've always had of Sedona is of a really sleepy little town, filled mostly with older people -- not exactly a place that I can imagine will be filled with partying on New Year's Eve.

However, if you're dying for some sort of excitement and have a car available, you could always drive down to Phoenix. It's only about a two hour drive.
