The Airport Loop Trail near the parking lot is great for beginners. Definitely go up the red rock at the midpoint. Awesome views, and photo opportunity. My sister and I didnt finish the loop since that looked difficult so we just turned back the way we came.

Its a beautiful overlook. I came here for a sunrise moment. Im not a people person and far from someone who wants to hike. So if I can be lazy and drive to the beautiful spots and avoid the Costco/ Bobwards people then these are the time and spots I love!

$3 parking and a 30 second walk to this spot, but beware it will get crowded. Great panoramic views. If you are not there at least thirty minutes before the sunset you may not get a phenomenal vantage point. Plenty of room, however there are many people that go there each and every night!

Great place to see all of Sedona and the beauty that surrounds it. Also, its better to pay the few dollars to park at the airport rather than try and find a spot halfway up the hill. And for those so inclined, its an easy walk downhill to the other viewing area where parking is nearly impossible to find.

Great views anytime after noon. Sunset was OK but better when the light is out. Great photos, $3 to park.

Great view from the top of Airport Mesa Drive. All day parking is just $3 at the kiosk or finish by 8am and dont pay. We parked under a big tree in the parking lot and found it to be a great place to take a nap in our vehicle after a long drive. Sign says no overnight parking but dont think there would be a problem since receipt says good till 11:59pm. Pay $3 more dollars after midnight and I think youd be golden.Dont miss the short but at sometimes moderate hike to the summit of the vortex on the way up. It is located at a small parking area on the left about halfway up Airport Mesa Rd.

Great spot for a great view! There are couple of flat rocks to sit on and two 25¢ fed binoculars. Parking was $3/$5 bucks. It got packed fast and got super loud so I advise you get there 30-45 minutes before the sunset to get a good picture and take in the view in silence.

This is one of the 4 major vortex spots in Sedona. From the parking lot, its a quick jot up the hill and if you must park further up and around the bend, it is still only .06 mile walk through beautiful desert. Take water and sit and feel the energy. The best view of Sedona.

The man at the car rental at the airport in Flagstaff recommended we drive up there. The panoramic view was amazing. While we were there, another couple from our home state was there

Beautiful view overlook the town of Sedona. The town is somewhat sleepy at the time of our visit but its so perfect that we didnt have to be stuck with the crowd and we get to enjoy it as it should have been. It may be a little overdeveloped but that meant convenience. So hard to find the perfect balance between convenience and natural preservation. But this is definitely a place for a visit!

Cannot recommend enough. Stunning views of Sedona. Highly recommend going for sunset, the rocks glow and its a scene like no other. There are trails very close by that are also very worth taking a look at, none are extremely strenuous and it can make for a nice stroll. One of the best places to get views of the entire area!

We went here twice in one day. Really nice trails and great scenic lookouts. They had binoculars where you put a quarter in and view it all. Parking at the lot on top of the hill is only $3 and you can come back in the evening to watch the sunset free, just show your already paid parking ticket.

Love this place! Andrea the host was amazing and the house was full of such history, beauty, and little places you could yourself being transported to and away from the world. Im looking forward to going back again soon!

This is a great viewpoint that is definitely worth checking out.Parking at the top is easy, it was $3 per car when we were there, and there is a small lot halfway up that is closer to the summit view point, but fills up quickly. The lot at the top has its own west facing view point, and is only a .6 mile hike to the east looking viewpoint and summit.This is beautiful any time of day, but Id highly recommend it at sun rise or set!

Theres a nice little nook off to the left of the viewing area. Its a very short walk but away for the crowd. Nice platform and some great shots.

Beautiful location to see the sun set on Sedonas red mountains.

Fabulous views all around. There are some easy short hikes just down the hill that also have spectacular views. If you see a tiny parking lot and people up on a rock youre in the right place!

What a beautiful place to wat h the sun set and the moon rise!

Simply breathtaking! Really shows the vastness and how beautiful the area is.

They have trails to walk, pet friendly, small fee to park, loved the view and the walk. Family friendly. Clean Porta-potty, nice drive. Bring water. Options for plane and helicopter tour..

Grab a Starbucks down the hill and come for dawn and watch the sun come up on the red rocks. A few balloons may rise too. You will remember it forever. Beautiful.

Great view. The loop around the airport is closer to 6 miles than the 3.3 we saw on the map.

Spectacular view. First clouds of the week made for excellent colors.The $3 parking fee was well worth it

Pretty good view of the sunset and the valley. You can tell theres something up just by the number of cars parked and number of people around starting an hour before the sun hits the horizon. However, the lookout point and parking close by have an unmaintained feel to it. Even if its dirt, it can be cleaned up some.

There is enough to keep truly outdoorsy people entertained, and the parking is slim at the base (where the hike is easier) so you do have to park at the top and there is a fee for that. And its quite a long hike around the hill to get to where the trail for the vortex begins. But the views are stunning, and its worth a trip at least once.

Beautiful outlook. If you park at the top there is a charge ($3 I believe), so note that. Definitely a great view!

Its truly the best view of Sedona, but get there early since the parking lot gets full. Parking fee $3, water bottle $1. The view is free.

About as easy as it gets for a nice sunset. Your first instinct is going to be to leave as soon as the sun dips below the horizon to beat the traffic. Stick around for another 20-30 minutes. Its worth it.$3 parking. Gets busy so dont expect those to be the spot. Bring something to sit on. Great restaurant and bar at the airport.

Simply a beautiful view. Easy to get to. $3 to park.

Its a good subset point. Theres a lot better ones also near by but this one has a good viewing place.

Breathtaking views from the lookout!! Blessed with a rainbow

We found this by accident. So beautiful to see the sunsetBring a chair, water & your camera...parking fee is minimal & you get to meet new people...priceless

The best spot to overlook the City of Sedona, and to watch the sunset.You can see almost everything in Sedona from up on this overlook.Please be aware that there is no place to side park your car. You must park at the parking lot available across the street from the overlook point. They charge only $3 and its surely worth it.You can also walk from there to the airport or the the coffee shop to get something to warm up with, as it is cool up there.I added sunset pictures and landscapes so you know this is one of the must see places to visit when in Sedona AZ.

Beautiful vistas and great hiking trails

Great place to watch sun go down. $3 to park

Get there early for the sunset watching. Also, a great place to go see the stars and Milky way. We kept our daily parking pass from earlier in the evening and parked in the gravel lot. It was empty up there.

Parking costs $3 and lot is busy but there is plenty of room to park. Well worth the views of mountains and aunset.

Beautiful place to see the the sunset. Get there a little earlier for parking.

Gorgeous! Nice hike down Sedona View and back up!

Come here first! Sit in silence and marvel at this natural beauty. Bring some quarters and exact change if your parking ( its only 3$ dollars). There is a very, very rocky path that takes you to one of the four natural vortexs that Sedona has,. If your in tune this is a great place to come and meditate and center yourself. Life is so wonderful. Enjoy friends. ~ AKGypsy

Beautiful spot, I recommend going for the sunset! However, there are so many people that crowd this little lookout. This takes away from your photo op and only about 50% of people were wearing masks.

Tell others why I love this place? Um, pictures are worth a thousand words. Such a great vibe here, although parking can be a bit tricky. There is parking at the top of the hill. It says $3, but was broken when we tried to pay. Trail around the hill is about 3 miles? Views are simply stunning the entire way around the trail, to say nothing of the vortex as you walk into it. Pack some snacks and some good shoes, or just enjoy the view from the main area if youre not up for a small adventure!

Halloween Blue and Hunters Moon from the parking lot. Amazing energy. Incredible experience.

Beautiful spot to watch the sunset. $3 to park.

Beautiful spot to hike or just watch the sunset! Peaceful with awesome views!

This view point is in all the guide books as a great sunset location. It is part of the year, and now the city has started charging $3.00 for a day permit. If you see no clouds in the sky, dont go. Yavapai Vista on hy 179 is much better but you still need a permit. First photo is Airport sunset, second two youre facing East, and the rocks really do glow like that.

Gorgeous views of the city!! I dont understand why you have to pay $3 for like 10 mins, but otherwise it was great

Amazing place to get your bearing of Sedona and the locations of so many sites! The viewing scopes are great and people are very accommodating as far as sharing them. They are free to use. The parking is $3.00 across the street from it. You can stay as long as you like. Some people park there and walk down the road to the Airport Mesa Vortex and hiking trails also. If you do, PLEASE walk single file! The road is narrow and some people walked hand in hand and made it hard for those of us driving back and forth.

Loved this place. Parking cost $3.00 but you can get the view without hiking, or there are some fun trails that start there. Amazing!

Just a quick and easy spot to enjoy this wonderful view

Breathtaking views. Its definitely worth the trip up. Parking is close. As most people have said, get there early if you want parking for the sunset view.

The view from here is extordinary. Of course this is more than likely one of the most beautiful places in this country.

All the tours were booked. One of jeep tour places suggested this for us. We got to do the vortex hike up and then watched sunset. Get there at least 1 hrs before sunset. Very popular place to see all of sedona and sunset on the mountains.

My husband is a retired pilot and Warbird aviator. Loved watching planes come and go. Beautiful place. Well be back!

Beautiful view for only $3. It got a little too crowded for me, but if you get there early enough you can snag a good spot for the sunset

Went for sunset but i think the view from cathedral rock was better if youre ok hiking.

A beautiful stop to take amazing photos from the area around

Great spot to watch sunset on the red rocks! Make sure you go in there early to escape the crowd and find a spot

I say this place is hyped for sunset and for no reason it gets crowded. Id say if you are a professional photographer and you want to capture some pictures then yes, sunset time is recommended but if you are a traveller and want to get a good view of sedona, then go any time. Sunset time gets really busy and causes traffic jam. It will cost you $3 to park there or if you dont wanna pay this, just stop few feet before the overlook parking where you can hike on top of a mountain for the same view. If you want to go during sunset, plan to reach about 45-60 minutes before to avoid traffic while coming in.

This place is something else. I am so glad we made the stop. Next time we will arrive earlier to get closer parking. Bathrooms are available. You must pay for parking before entrance. The views are spectacular and many people are there to see it for themselves. It is crowded but worth it. We brought our children and they loved it just as much! When in Sedona this is a place that is a must see for a sunset view. The red rock is stunning and I’ve never seen anything like it. I hope to go there again soon!

Great scenic view!! Its higher in altitude so you can see a lot. Especially nice, sun up and sun down. Very pretty!

It was nice for the sunset. You need to get there early to find a good spot. Tip: save your parking tiket if you leave and want to come back later to see the starts.

Great lookout. Park at the airport and avoid the $3 parking charge

Great views. Has guide lines to help with the hike. Parking lot shack offers bottles water.

Easy walk though very rocky. Absolutely spectacular views!

Sedona Airport for 1.00 will let you park and take pictures of wires and outhouses and the sunrise. (We got there early no enforcement of parking, and left before the booth opened)Airport mesa no port a potty, great view of homes top down, great view of surrounding valley with all monuments and WIND. wear long sleeved shirts

Good place for sunset. Get there early. Lots of people!

It was freezing and snowing but worth the trip. We got a fog filled look (which Im sure is not the usual but was still grand.Would like to go back to see the sunset on a copper filled day but am grateful for what we did see.

Lot less crowded at sunrise. Amazing views and colors

Arrive early and expect to pay to park!!! View is good if you can see around the people.

Great scenic lookout, but save the $3 walk from the airport

Great food! Quick service.

Decent view. You can park at the airport 2mn away for free

Great lookout point with an easy trail to even more gorgeous views. You can’t go wrong up here!

On Trip Advisor and a local ranger rated this spot as a great place for sunset photos. It was the worst! My daughter is a photographer and we left as soon as possible and got better, late pictures driving by Bell Rock! This is not not the place to go for sunnset pictures! Plus they charge you to park there.

Beautiful views overlooking the city. Only drawback is the $3 parking fee.

Fantastic view! You need to pay for parking though.

Nice spot to take sunset photos. Im sure they have to charge for parking to keep it from being over crowded.

Beautiful scenic area, looks like a mini Grand Canyon. Great place to take a sunset photo.

Great place to see the view!There might be a fee. Depends when u go.Parking is across the street.

Great view from near the airport. Hazy skies this day due to smoke from California but still a good view.

A beautiful spot to take in views of Sedona. Its great anytime but especially good at sunset. From the overlook there are views of Thunder Mountain, Cockscomb, Coffee Pot Rock, Wilson Mountain and much more.The overlook parking lot offers access to trails to the Airport vortex and connection to the Airport loop trail. From the trails you have opportunities for views of the entire Sedona and Oak Creek area depending on where you hike. The Airport loop trail is a great way to see everything the area has to offer with views of Bell Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Cathedral Rock among others.Parking at the overlook is $3 but worth the opportunity to take in the overlook view and spend a little time hiking the trails.

It was spectacular, a little cold on the day we went. Be sure to keep your jackets handy when you need them. Nice look out. Parking is there for a little fee. You will be able to get nice scenic view. We waited for the sunset, but didnt get what we expected, probably because of the weather and clear sky. Check the weather before going so you wont be disappointed. It is a beauty to eyes.

If you can experience and sunset from this point you are on to something. Paid to park. $3 not bad for an awesome sunset view

Great view if you dont want to do any hiking, but very crowded.

Breath taking. Sooooo beautiful!

What a great hike, beautiful scenery all at the Sedona airport trail, its a must on your Sedona list.

Awesome views. You definitely have to stop here if you are in the area.

Good view but busy. Not a good view for the sunset .

Really cool place there is parking, and you can see whole town from here

This was an interesting perspective of the Sedona valley. It did cost $3 to park so you could get out to take pictures, and there is a vortex a half a mile away that you can walk to. I would recommend going here.

Beautiful, but very hot hike. start early and being ice water backpacks

Nice views next to airport. It is now 3$ to park. Trial to airport vortex starts here unless you are very lucky and get a parking spot next to vortex.

Great view of Sedonas beautiful red rocks. Highly recommend going there for sunrise or sunset. We went for sunset.

Great place to stop . Great beautiful view!! You can take lots of pictures. Price to park is $3.00 . Well worth the money. Cheep !!

Only need 15min here, but its nice

One of the best place to see the beauty of the town. You will have a beautiful view of the town with red Rock mountains in the background. Better to see sunset from there. Very large parking structure, but parking is not free. Parking fee is $3 per day. Restrooms are there. Area is pretty crowded. its very cold and windy over there, so better take a jacket.

Parking $3. Can see over the sedona city.

It is pretty but not the best view realistically for sunset in Sedona. Parking is $3 and it gets crowded quick. So unless you eat at the restaurant I would pick another place with a patio in uptown

Best lookout and sunset spot in Sedona. Go there early enough because the sun might set earlier than you think, and the time to find a parking spot and identify the viewpoint you want should not be underestimated either. Dont miss it.
