Exploring Soldiers Pass Trail

This trail allows you to visit some of the more popular gems of Sedona: Devil's Sinkhole and the Seven Sacred Pools. The beginning of the trail keeps you in beautiful red rocks and connected to what most of us love about Sedona. However, there is a section of the hike I wasn't a huge fan of. You'll pass through areas which have been under fire in years past which I found sad, and not appealing.

Overall this hike is easy, minus a big hill you have to get up. But it is doable for sure, and will aid in sculpting those Beyonce thighs. This is the perfect time of year to go see this trail.

Sacred Pools of Sedona

What to bring:

• Water! I use a hiking belt so I don't have to hold it in my hands. You can get one at Walmart for about $10.
• Hiking shoes
• Snacks (almonds would be perfect enough)
• Hat/Sunscreen (you'll be in the sun)
• Pepper spray or something else to protect you

Getting there:
Head down to Sedona via 89A. After you pass through town, turn right onto Soldiers Pass Road and drive about 1.5 miles. Follow signage for the trail.

Coffee & FroYo at Cultured Cafe

When you need a relaxing local favorite to study or read in go no further than Cultured Cafe. This chill coffeeshop has delicious treats to make you feel warm inside as you look at the snow falling outside. In addition to creative coffee flavors and brewed teas, they serve frozen yogurt. Let me tell you....yum! You get to pick from a variety of flavors and can load up as many toppings as you would like. You pay for the froyo based on its weight, and the variety offered is overwhelming in all the right ways.

My favorite aspect of Cultured is the decor. The intentional design is inviting, appealing and what I would give to hire whoever did to come shopping with me for my own place.

Location:
Cultured is located off of Butlter Ave, near REI and Whole Foods. Address: 319 West Regent St #209.
