North Uptown, Sedona Heritage Museum and practical tips for the walk
Finish the loop by heading north toward Jordan Rd for the Sedona Heritage Museum, then use these Uptown Sedona map and parking tips to end your half‑day walk smoothly.
Sedona Heritage Museum — local history on Jordan Rd
From the SR‑89A core, walk north on Jordan Rd (about 3/4 mile) to the Sedona Heritage Museum at 735 Jordan Road. The small museum focuses on local history and offers a compact cultural detour from the commercial core.
Factor roughly 20–30 minutes of walking time to reach the museum from central Uptown; the north route is hillier than Gallery Row.

Parking in Uptown Sedona (SR‑89A & Forest Rd) can fill quickly in spring and fall. Stop at the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center for current parking info, public lot locations and to buy a USFS Red Rock Pass if you plan to visit trailheads later.
Street meters and time‑limited lots are common—read posted signs and allow extra time to walk from parking to Pink Jeep Plaza or Gallery Row.

If visiting trailheads after Uptown, buy a Red Rock Pass at the Chamber before you leave.
Restrooms, water and accessibility for families and seniors
The SR‑89A corridor and Gallery Row are the most level, stroller‑friendly parts of Uptown. The Sedona Chamber has a water refill station and can point to public restrooms and accessible routes.
If mobility or strollers are a concern, avoid the steeper Jordan Rd hill and stick to the main Uptown sidewalks.
Stroller/senior tip: stay on SR‑89A for flatter walking and more frequent crossings.
