ATV Riding - A major outdoor activity that tourists flock to is the ATV riding experiences throughout the desert areas of Sedona. Because of the amount of dirt and sand that is kicked up on the ride, you’re going to want to wear a bandana and a pair of sunglasses to protect your face and eyes. Your shoes should be sturdy, so grab a pair of hiking boots or other types of rugged, durable shoes. A light, breathable shirt, preferably dry-fit, is your best bet. Since there are also little storage compartments in the ATV itself, you can pack water and some snacks to keep you going.
Hot Air Balloon Riding - If you’re a fan of heights and majestic aerial views, then a hot air balloon ride over the Red Rocks is right up your alley. Because most hot air balloon rides take place in the early morning when it’s cool, you’ll want to wear either a long-sleeved shirt or a sweater, comfortable pants such as jeans, and closed-toed shoes such as sneakers. Remember you’ll be on your feet for the duration of the ride. Any accessory you bring should be on a lanyard, securely fastened around your neck.
Landmark / Living History Touring - Many of the landmarks in and around Sedona are dedicated to Native American individuals and tribes, or are Native American ruins that you can visit. Build what you wear around your shoes, for you’ll be on your feet all day. Choose breathable, comfortable walking shoes with a lot of support for your soles. Since the indoors might be slightly cool, try wearing jeans and an airy blouse. Throw on a sweater or cardigan that can be removed if you need it, and store your important items, such as your credit card or your ID, in either a neck wallet or a cross-body bag for easy access.
Swimming at the Watering Holes - All of the items you’d typically pack for a beach outing or a day at the pool will be fine for a day at the lake. Make sure to bring your bathing suit, some type of a cover-up or sarong, and your water shoes. If you intend to layout and sunbathe, then you can’t go wrong with a sturdy sun hat and a strong SPF sunscreen, most notably one that is waterproof. For the kids, opt for the spray-on kind that you can apply easily throughout the day.
