At $26, the trolley is the cheapest ticket in Sedona — and one of the smartest. This narrated ride rolls through Uptown and out to Boynton Canyon, one of Sedona's most storied spots (a vortex site, an ancient Sinagua homeland, and the gateway to some of the best hiking in town), while the driver fills in the history, geology and local lore.
Ride it on your first morning. You'll come away knowing what everything you're looking at is called, where the trailheads are, and which tours are worth your real money for the rest of the trip.
