A Weekend in…The Village of Oak Creek
The Village of Oak Creek is just south of Sedona, about 90 minutes from the Valley via car. It is often considered “the start” of Sedona when driving in from the Valley because it marks the some of the most picturesque hiking and mountain bike trails in the region.
