Been separated eight months, finally ready to make it official. House is the main issue, we both want it and neither of us wants to sell. Looking for someone local who's dealt with situations where neither side is willing to budge on property. Any recommendations from people who've actually used someone good out here?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a 7-day road trip through the Southwest from July 29 – Aug 5, going through Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.

I’m building a small documentary-style project out of it, but honestly I’m just trying to base the route on real people and real knowledge instead of just guessing stops off Google Maps.

Right now I’m looking for: • Local recommendations for places worth stopping at (not tourist traps) • People who actually know their area well and wouldn’t mind sharing insight • Interesting regional stories tied to towns, roads, or landscapes • Anyone open to being interviewed or just pointing me in the right direction

I’m not trying to make it overcomplicated—I just want to make sure I’m actually seeing and documenting things that matter to the people who live there.

If you know any spots, or you’re someone local to any of these states and don’t mind sharing ideas, I’d really appreciate it.

My husband and I are visiting Sedona next week and instead of advanced reservations we thought we would just drive there and take our chances. We will be staying midweek and wondering if that’s a good idea or not.

Visiting Sedona with kids (10 & 4). Is pink jeep tour recommended? What’s unique about it. What about paid stargazing tours ? Is that worth as tickets are $120 and above ? Please also recommend other must do activities..

My boyfriend and I are visiting Sedona, from May 12-14. For the first time 🏜️

Doing cathedral rock upon arriving
Day 2: devils bridge for sunrise? Is that good? Is there a better spot?
Then heading to Boynton Canyon Trail/ Subway cave on the same day.

Day 3. Day trip to Page, AZ

Any recs? Any tips?

Thanks guys!

Hey everyone — I’m planning a road trip through the Southwest U.S. (Nevada → Arizona → New Mexico) and wanted to reach out to people who know the area well or just have interesting local insight.

I’ll be passing through places like Rachel, Sedona, Roswell, and surrounding desert areas, and I’m documenting the journey through short-form video content.

The focus is on the landscape, small-town culture, and the stories tied to these places — especially anything related to UFO lore, unexplained experiences, or just interesting local history and perspectives.

If anyone has:

recommendations for stops or viewpoints local stories or history worth sharing or is open to a quick on-camera conversation/interview while I’m in the area

I’d really appreciate it.

Also open to connecting with locals or creatives in those areas if there’s interest in collaborating while I’m passing through.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi,

Are there any good Astrophotography spots around Sedona or do we need to drive 45 mins out of town for dark skies?

I am hearing mixed news about the spots.

Cheers!

Just scared (had a really bad experience back in 2010 (I am still paying for it), when I had no clue what’s going on in my life. Naive, dumb and stupid).

And want to make sure this time I am doing it right (visiting this weekend, plus it’s a new moon)

My husband and I are thinking of going to Sedona for the first time in November. We're between L'Auberge de Sedona and Enchantment. Any thoughts on the two and the time of year?

In Sedona for the first time and hiked Devil’s Bridge this morning. It was lovely, scenic vistas and an easy morning hike.

I’d love to see more caves/rock scrambling. Would that be Boynton Canyon? Birthing Cave? I’d appreciate any advice.

Hi all! We have a wedding in Sedona at the end of May. We are going to have our “rehearsal dinner” at our place the night before and wanted some recommendations on good restaurants that we could either pickup or deliver that can feed a crowd of about 20-25. Thinking maybe pizza or something along those lines.

Thank you!!

Parks and Rec holds Basketball Open Gym runs at the West Sedona School on Posse Grounds Rd every Thursday and Sunday 7pm

There's a $2 nightly fee and you MUST BE 18 or older.

Lately we've been struggling to get enough people, but I know there's gotta be more hoopers out there so I wanted to spread the word.

We're a friendly (now small) group, just looking to have fun and get some exercise. Nothing hyper-competitive. If you haven't even touched a basketball in years, don't worry, nobody's taking anything too seriously.

Locals, newcomers, travelers passing through, older players — all are welcome.

Myself and four buddies will be backpacking the West Fork of Oak Creek trail (in a canyon, so more shade). I expect to use about a liter of water for food per day, and we’ll be out when the highs are in the 90s. We plan to hike from around 8-11am, take a break, and hike again from 3-whenever we find a good spot to camp. We will be out for three days, two nights and expect to hike anywhere from 3-8 miles per day depending on weather, water, timing, etc. Also, while there’s a chance we find water that’s safe to filter and drink, we’re packing enough water to avoid relying on that. How much water should we bring, and would we be fine carrying all of it in smart water bottles? We’re bringing minimal gear to save weight/space for water. (My estimate is 10L per person, but let me know what you think). Thanks so much for any advice!
