I live in AZ and Sedona is only about an hour away from me! It's the best to visit at the beginning of summer when the day is warm and the night time is chilly!

@@helmyfenisia5266 The second week of June, all of June, the afternoons are normally hot in Sedona, until the monsoon rain comes, which might be in late June or July (afternoons and evenings). Of course, "hot" in Sedona isn't as hot as in Phoenix or Tucson, but people from cooler climates would still say it's hot, especially in the direct Sun. Wearing a brimmed or protective hat that lets heat escape while providing shade to your head and neck, and drinking water every few minutes (always carry water with you in Arizona, never be without it), and scheduling the bigger nature outings for mornings will help a lot with the warmer temperatures. Resting in shade periodically is a good idea when out in the heat. All temperature readings worldwide are taken in the shade, so if the temp is said to be 95℉, then that's in the shade, and out in the Sun is much hotter, so shade is very important. You might enjoy my large Arizona playlist; it's an organized video tour of much of the state, and has a large section for the Sedona area, of Oak Creek Canyon as well. Wearing a wet or cool-gel bandana around your neck and keeping it wet (not sopping but wet and cool) will help a great deal with the heat. 😎

Normally, for the days to be warm and the nights to be chilly, that would be latter April and May, latter September and October, not June through early September. Hot Summer temps at these elevations in Arizona have longer summers, and longer still at the lower elevations of Phoenix and Tucson and such. As a native Arizonan, I consider "Summer" in these areas (Phx, Tucson) to be May through October. By the last week of April it's quite warm, and normally around October 23, the weather cools markedly, moving us into a short autumn season. Autumn, Winter and Spring are all short seasons in southern Arizona, while "Summer" lasts about six months. If we were talking about Flagstaff and the Mogollon Rim area (7000'+ in elevation), that's much cooler in the summertime, with more normal season lengths, real autumns, longer winters. Sedona is between those two climates, still quite warm with short mild winters. Even late May afternoons in Sedona can be quite hot in the direct Sun.

Hi Em! I am planning on visiting for my birthday.. weekend of Nov 12, and I'd love to love some help in choosing the right locations to look for airbnb if I want to be a little close to the airport and a little close to rocks. Can you help please?
I love Sedona but it's crowded now. It was a lot more fun when I was a little girl and the roads were narrow and everyone knew each other and there weren't houses all over the place and businesses and tourists. I know things progress, and that's life, but it was just a better simpler time back then.
the scenery in Sedona will impact your life for sure
I visited Sedona, AZ three years in a row. I attended 3 mediation classes. The people, the food and the beauty is great. Bell rock is awesome too and the chapel.
That is why Arizona is the only state proud enough about it's sunset to make it our flag. The blue is misleading though, it's should be flames on the ground.
I used to live in Flagstaff, Az. Visited Sedona every weekend. It is breathtaking!

Been to both places...both beautiful
Man I just left Sedona yesterday. The most beautifulest place I've ever been in my life! My wife & I took a helicopter ride across the city & the view was extraordinary. I can't wait to go back again & I can't wait to go see the Grand Canyon next. We just moved to Phoenix, AZ from Richmond, VA & we're loving it out here in Arizona.
I live in Kingman, Az. Arizona is the best place to live in the multiverse!

YES fello Arizonian!!
I live in Arizona and I haven’t really traveled too far for food, but watching these videos makes me want to travel for food for a living. It seems so laid back, fun, and relaxing.
Thanks for the vid. I got married at the bottom of cathedral rock 14 years ago. Was awesome every time I go back it's even better.
It’s one if the most beautiful places on earth! The energy and peace you feel is amazing! I try to visit once a year
"God spilled some hot oil" hahahaha perfect!
Awesome vid! I grew up in Sedona and I'm going back bext year! your vid made me homesick.
I'm from NY living in AZ - can't agree more. Sedona is the best place in Arizona
Exploring that area has been on my bucket list for so long. The canyons are so beautiful and driving through it is already amazing. It truly is picture perfect Mike, I agree with you.
I was there in 2016 and am dying to get back! Sedona, AZ and Kotor, Montenegro are my absolute favorite places in the world (so far).
Just to clarify: that cave is called “shaman’s cave” the trail there is called robbers roost trail. It is believed the native Americans used that cave for religious rituals. I just visited there and it’s breathtaking.
Awestruck by all that natural beauty! What a breathtaking sunset you got to see!
Next time let us know you're coming to Az! It'd be great to take you to meet the Apaches, Sedona is their homeland and there's a cave deep off the beaten path where the Apache believe life came from. Every year in late summer the Yavapai-Apache have a ceremony honoring the first woman created and cave she was born from in Sedona. It is public and non-Natives can go, but it's not publicized.

I live near Sedona Let me know where and when I could go there, thanks much 😊
Hi Mike, love your videos. You have a way of editing your videos with the panoramic view and the background music that is so serene and beautiful that you feel like your there also. I’m from the Bay Area (San Jose, Santa Clara, Silicon Valley) mostly so I can relate to your videos from your move from east coast to the west coast. I’ve also lived in Northern Utah so I too love the beautiful rock scenery they have. Keep up the good work Sandy Borbon
I went to Sedona for the first time last week - loved it! Will definitely be returning at some point in the future. Thanks for sharing.
The Red Rocks are Iron Oxide most likely and the white ones are silica dioxide and non conductive,,, see the ridges and terraces... it seems an electrical discharge happened there... I've been there so I knw how beautiful it all is,,, ancient too,,, but it looks like the site of a major event from the sky,,,, or earth n some other body,,,,connecting magnetically
Is it fair to say I'm passionate about a place I've never even been to? I've always dreamed of visiting Sedona and the Grand Canyon! I am in love with the American west. I made it as far as Albuquerque 3 years ago, and am still just as in awe with the beauty of the desert and the mountains as the day I first saw them. So much peace, wide open spaces, always something to visit. Like you said, "it's heaven on Earth."
was in sedona az a few years back and cried tears of joy! unique and sacred place for sure.. great video.. brings back lots of memories!
I also love Sedona and traveled there twice so far, for sure I'm going back, totally beautiful and endless hiking options.
Sedona is beautiful, but I love Oak Creek. 😆 Luckily, I only live 18 miles north in Flagstaff...my very favorite place!!

Sedona AZ is the nicest place I've ever been to. I love it.
Headed there for 4 days this week driving from Kansas city and cant wait to see it!!
Love Sedona! I went to school in Phoenix, and visited the area several times. I could live there for sure🥰
I've been to sedona and it is really heaven on earth, it is so beautiful. it has such a weird feeling when you are there its like your so calm and St peace. if you go u have to stay there to see the sunset, it is just the most beautiful sunset ever its amazing that's what I remember most about sedona the amazing sunset. it's a very spiritual place too to pray in and such. also go to sliderock but go during the summer when its hot because the water is melted snow from the mountains so its very very cold. man it's my dream home I can't explain what it's like to go in just a comment. if you haven't been there GO number 1 place in the world.
I've only been to Sedona once, but did not get to do much ( it was more so a drive down there). I would like to go back someday go :) Thanks for sharing this scenery/travel adventure with us Mike. Have a great day ~
One of the most beautiful places on earth. Love your hat!
Damn Sedona looks crazy beautiful!
I fell in love with Sedona today! It’s a truly wonderful place
Thank you...it's all so beautiful..hope to go once again.
Sedona is like heaven on earth, I know exactly what you mean! I was there for 10 days on a 3 month road touring trip and was so sad to leave.. but I WILL be back!...
Just got back from Sedona... Created one of our web-series around it. What an amazing place!
Lolol the irony of your channel being strictly dumpling and then a travel vid xD but it was a nice videooo~~!! Great job
I used to live there for about a year and a half a long time ago. I had such a great time there. I miss it a lot
Pretty good hat! The best scenery I've seen in the country, especially around Oak Creek Canyon. So gorgeous!
Mike Chen food vlogger fan but came here for travel recommendation to Sedona 2023 as he popped up on search list😂
We were staying in Scottsdale and went up to the Grand Canyon so we spend about 30 mins in Sedona and its SO EFFING COOL!
Im happy to say that i live there. I am never leaving. I love it here.

How's the rent/housing market? I heard there are like no jobs for young people outside of hospitality, is that true?
I'm looking forward to my trip to Sedona soon. Thanks for the little tour! Also, I do like your hat! :)
Living in Phoenix I'm in Sedona all the time. Love it!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
I live in Southeast Washington State which is a semi arid climate. Lots of flat, open land and sage brush (and wine ;)). I love it! We lived in the South for 18 months, I felt a little claustrophobic not being able to see around me.
Here for my first time, what a place!
Thank you for the tour of the beautiful Sedona, Arizona. Great sense of humour, too! 👍
My favorite place upon Earth. Camped there, many times. Swam in Oak Creek (Canyon).
Amazing scenery Mike ! Mikey says “ never touch a cactus” In the future you should consider more “ tourist “ type flogs you make an excellent guide
Yes, it is a beautiful place! One of our family's favorite place to go too!
I get it. Moved from the stix of nor Cal to NW Nevada. After I saw my first sunset into crystal clear night, I will never go back.
My dad’s van is a 2002 Sedona and in 2010, we went to El Paso and we drove past Sedona, Arizona
SO beautiful!! Glad you guys had a great time!!!
Hey Mike! Another great video! I just love your attitude and your energy and I think I'm already subscribed to your videos on another channel? Not sure though it is good to see your familiar face. So cool that I found video tho, as I live here, in Sedona! I didn't know that you came through here until watching this one. Sedona is incredible, and as someone who has lived here over 7 years thus far I can definitively say that not all days are as busy as others with regard to tourism. I don't know anyone who regrets living here and I know I've never been happier as I am these days. For many of us, every day feels like we just got here! hahaha When you come through, I'd be happy to share with you some of my favorite spots. I'm a history buff, and I love the local stories! My favorite spots list just continues growing though so maybe sometime consider staying more than a day! Much love and safe travels! ~ Karen
Can you imagine seeing the stars and the sunrise from that cave??!! So beautiful~ This makes me proud to live in Arizona♥♥ Your hat is cool. :)
Great video! We're headed to Sedona for the first time this May. We have 3 nights in Sedona, 2 nights in the GCNP, and then 3 nights in Las Vegas. We're super excited to see Sedona!!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Mike, this place looks amazing!!!! If you love this place, I am highly recommended Uluru at Australia.You will love Uluru too....when sunset , you can see the stone color changing slowly....breathtaking!!
First time seeing your video. Very nice! I would love to visit Sedona one day! Looks so beautiful! I liked your "cave apartment". Very Flintstones! Loved the views, but I don't think I have the wherewithal to make it up to that point! The Buddha legend was interesting. All in all, thumbs up for this video! (By the way, lose the hat. Nah, just messin' with ya - it's nice!😁)
Sedona never gets old. I go there at every opportunity.
Hey Mikey, I realize this video was made in 2015, and you may never see this comment, but just in case, I wanted to share some info that you may find DELICIOUS. ^_^ While in Sedona today, my husband and I thought of you while enjoying the most YUMMY, juicy, charbroiled, burger (with sweet potato fries) in Sedona, since you visit here annually. We're pretty confident you won't regret checking out Outlaw Grill, if you haven't already. The family there provides OUTSTANDING, heartfelt service, especially Chad, the ingredients are always fresh, portions are generous, and the prices are very fair for Sedona (around $8 and up). And if you're in the Flagstaff area, and happen to crave for some noodles, check out the Mucho Madori ramen with the soft and chewy udon noodles instead of the starchy ramen noodles. It contains the following: Roasted green chile, chicken and pork broth, pork chashu, boiled egg [undercooked the way you like it], garlic oil, sesame seed, scallion, and cilantro. Granted, it probably won't compare to most of the ramen that you've had, especially in Japan, but since you visit this area often, might as well enjoy some food while stopping by. Anyway, continue BEING your authentic, honest, free-spirited, adventurous, fun, highly imaginative, very creative, funny, lovable, and loving self. And thank you for sharing a lot of interesting videos! ;-)
Visited there once for my birthday, it's been my plan to make it back permanently ever since
Yay, one of my fav youtubers in my home town! Interesting factoid about Cathedral Rock: It's name was accidentally switched with another rock on the first map of the area and the incorrect names stuck. What used to be called Courthouse Rock is now called Cathedral Rock; what used to be called Cathedral Rock is now called Courthouse Rock. If you look at Cathedral Rock from the right angle, you will see a courthouse scene of a judge marrying a couple.
Wow that is gorgeous! I bet it was a nice break from the city. :)
Worked there for a year. Awesome place to visit and eat!!
My favorite place in AZ is Mt.lemmon
I want to move there,thank you for the upload,you did a great job,thank u
where is the robbers cave?? Im going to Arizona In may and I would love to find where it is :D to visit
I LOVE ARIZONA i went there once when i was 7 and it was beautiful
been there, i love it and i miss it.
The real cathedral is amazing! It is my favourite spot. You should bring a video up about the city itself, which really looks like a century ago. by the way, a real good restaurant and also saloon is "The silver saddle"... First time I ate rattlesnake ...
If you ever come back to Sedona stop by in Flagstaff!
Cool vid please share more travel adventures with us! Never seen Dan outside of the city before haha
LOVE SEDONA! YOUR VID IS CRAZY DOPE! THANKS
I'm glad to say I'm an Arizona Native... Love It...
I look forward to experiencing Sedona again 🌹
Very good video. Well done. Slide fire in the background
My favorite place I have ever traveled to!!! You would love the garden if the gods in Colorado Springs...that is if you haven't already been!:)
Truly Awesome filming accomplished here ! Awesome sharing ! 5 thumbs up Video :-)
THESE GUYS DO A GREAT VID....MORE PLEASE!
Wow! Mike, more videos of Arizona.
Awesome! Do more traveling videos!
Thank you for this lovely video and your adorable character.
very nice place Sedona is. I hope you had a good time.
Love Sedona, love Zion, but nothing beats Yellowstone for variety and beauty.
my wife and I went there for our honeymoon.... by far my most favorite place in the world.
You should consider living in phoenix as a home base. It is way less expensive than new york or san francisco . In the west valley there is a great asian sore called Lee Lee's, so you could get great food. It is not nearly as cosmipolitan as the cities you have lived in, but it wouls let you be close to the wide open spaces you seem to love. I know how you feel because I am currrently living in Missouri and get weird homesick feelings when I watch you in Arizona. I only lived there for 5 years but my family spent many years of their live there. I have been visiting Arizona since II was 10 and now I am 46.

Some may not like their tires melting in summer;
Do you mind sharing what activities you like best here? My wife & I will be visiting November 8-11. We're definitely hiking, but what trails are best? ATVs? Golf?
Looks incredible. Hope to visit some day.
Nice hat! Planning a trip to Grand Canyon including stops in Mesa and Flagstaff...so, I will definitely spend some hours here! TY!
Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Are the trailheads easy to find on GPS
Sedona is my number one spot as well. Love it so much
I’m from Massachusetts and lived in Arizona for 5 years. I hated it more than words can express. Sedona was ok for a day trip but it didn’t change my opinion of Arizona. I prefer the look of a landscape affected by humidity.
I got a 2 day getaway deal & one town on the list is Sedona. I'm thinking about it but I'm not the hiking type
awedome place! nowhere else in the world like it!!!! GOD bless the US
Absolutely amazing! More videos please! :)
So many typos in my last entry! I meant great store! Oh there is also good dim sum downtown Phoenix at the Chinese heritage center. So, you wouldn't have to go without. I miss dim sum living in my small town here in the Midwest.
So beautiful!! I want to sit up there by that window for hours🖤
I believe you but try Sequia Nat. Park on a cloudy day and hike above the clouds .I will be going to Sedona thanks for your insight
Great video, exactly the information I was looking for.
