A hotel at 4105 West State Route 89A, on the west end of Sedona, run under the Courtyard name by Marriott.

The location sits along the highway, so getting in and out by car is straightforward, and town is a short drive.

Skywalker Trail covers 1.9 miles inside the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest, on the public land around Sedona, Arizona. The tread is dirt and rock left in place, and grades of 10-12% mean the miles tilt uphill in places. It carries the number 669 and is held to class 3 standards. Cool mornings are the easier time to walk it, and light fades quickly in the canyons. Sturdy shoes help, and so does an early start in summer. Ask the Red Rock Ranger District about current conditions and where you may park at the start.
