Trolleys have become significantly less common over the years, and that’s quite a shame. Thankfully, they haven’t entirely gone out of style here in Arizona, and we’ve discovered a fun opportunity to ride on one! Red Rock Magic Trolley takes passengers on an unforgettable journey to Sedona’s most popular attractions. Check it out:
Red Rock Magic Trolley is the best way to see Sedona's most famous sights. Without lifting a finger, you'll be whisked off on an unforgettable excursion through this magical desert town.
Knowledgeable guides make the experience equal parts entertainment and education, sharing tidbits of information about the area's natural and cultural history. You'll be absolutely enthralled and hanging onto every word.
Chapel of the Holy Cross is an iconic attraction in Sedona, and the trolley allows passengers to see it up-close. Ride along the gorgeous Highway 179 Scenic Byway and stop at the Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village in addition to visiting this majestic landmark.
Boynton Canyon is another destination that’s so popular, there's an entire tour dedicated to it. You'll learn about Western movies and Native American history, as well as explore Jordan Park and other spots throughout the city.
The 85-minute trolley tours to Boynton Canyon depart at 10:30 a.m., noon, and 1:30 p.m. There's also an additional 4 p.m. pickup most days.
Another tour option stops at all of Sedona's major highlights, such as Bell Rock and Airport Mesa. First-time visitors will especially enjoy this route, as it eliminates the hard work that comes along with mapping out a trip.
The journey starts at Sacajawea Plaza at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Specialty tours are also offered for weddings, corporate events, and other private occasions. Go on a wine trail, pub crawl, or a different tour tailor-made with your group's desires.
