Join a private guide such as Brett, Conner, Connor, or David for a customized Sedona sunset and night hike. You’ll get transport, headlamps, trekking poles, snacks, water, and thermal or night vision cameras while exploring red rock views, desert plants, wildlife, and star-filled skies.

“I had no idea as to what to expect on a nightly tour. My three sisters and I decided to embark on an adventure to Sedona, AZ and this tour seemed to be an adventurous one, and it did not disappoint us! We experienced the beautiful rays of the sun setting over the top of the red rock peaks until it set behind them. The smell of various fragrances from the surrounding plants of sage, juniper, pine, rosemary, tree barks, even the red rock sand had a scent. Feeling different textures of plant leaves and tree barks was an experience. All of this occurring as we ascended the mountainous range.…”
