Shopping

There are five major shopping areas in Sedona including the bustling tourist center of compact Uptown Sedona. Other good areas to lighten your wallet include West Sedona along Highway 89A (called the "real town" by locals) where you can find everyday services and goods; the Highway 179 corridor featuring the art, shop, and dining complexes of Hillside Sedona (671 Hwy. 179; 928/282-4500; www.hillsidesedona.net) and Hozho Distinctive Shops & Galleries (431 Hwy. 179; 928/204-2257); and the Village of Oak Creek.

If you're the type that gets excited by the smell of burning incense and the glimmer of quartz crystal, you'll have a (vortex) field day at Sedona's eclectic array of shops catering to New Age and esoteric merchandise. Two shops to watch for include the Center for the New Age (341 Hwy. 179; 928/282-2085; www.sedonanewagecenter.com) and Crystal Magic (2978 Hwy. 89A; 928/282-1622; www.crystalmagicsedona.com).

Our favorite area to shop is Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, a replica of a Mexican pueblo built in Spanish Colonial style and filled with dozens of shops, restaurants, and galleries adjoined by quaint courtyards and cobbled streets. If you're in the market for art, this complex offers a good selection of Western and Native American art as well as more contemporary works, most of them by local artists.

For Southwest and Native American goods including jewelry, Navajo rugs, pottery, weaved baskets, and kachina dolls, try Garland's Indian Jewelry (3953 Hwy. 89A; 928/282-6632; www.garlandsjewelry.com). Garland's Navajo Rugs (411 Hwy. 179; 928/282-4070; www.garlandsrugs.com), as its name suggests, specializes in rugs. We also like Ninibah's (336 Hwy. 89A; 928/282-4256) for its selection of pottery, Navajo sand paintings, and jewelry.

For national brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Nine West at discounted prices, drop by The Oak Creek Factory Outlets (6601 Hwy. 179; 928/284-2150) in the Village of Oak Creek. Alternatively, to pack your own picnic lunches, stock up on all-natural supplies at New Frontiers Natural Foods (1420 Hwy. 89A; 928/282-6311), a grocery store with a full-service deli.
