There really isn’t a bad view anywhere in Sedona. The jaw-dropping views are terrific. We did enjoy driving and getting out to marvel along this Scenic Byway.Full review by Culture13622909622

This is a must do if you’re in the area. The drive is not very long, yet you get to see beautiful rock formations. There’s also many trails, if you like hiking.Full review by TravelingBum52

From Flagstaff you head south on Rt 89A. The byway starts on Rt 179 after passing through the town of Sedona. From Phoenix you take Exit 298 off I-17 and head north on Rt 179. Basically all of Rt 179 is the Scenic Byway.
Hi! My husband & I, & our 6 year old twins will be driving in from Los Angeles to Sedona on a Wednesday. And then to Scottsdale to see some family sometime on Friday for the weekend. What is the best way to get the most out of the drive and see the best views and any landmarks? As a reference, We were thinking of taking kids fishing Rainbow Trout Farm.....and Horseback riding with Trail Horse Adventures (only place I've seen that is open and allows kids this age). Also, Out of Africa. Is it worth going? Just so confused as to whats near what and how to plan all this to get the most of the few days we have and see the Red Rocks and all in between if we can on the way to fishing maybe or on the way back. I really appreciate any suggestions from those who have been or live around the area. Thanks so much!
A:
Red Rocks State Parks is fun with relatively easy trails.
