Great Sedona Chili Cook-Off

If you like chili and you’re in Sedona next May 5th, be sure to go by the Great Sedona Chili Cook-Off.  We volunteered with the Sedona Rotary this year and had a great time.  It took place this year, as in years past, at Tlaquepaque next to Oak Creek.  We mostly sold t-shirts and water for a few hours and then the next shift arrived giving us time to try all of the great chili available.

Two different groups competed this year. We had the restaurants in one group and the municipalities (Sedona, Cottonwood, Clarkdale and Sedona Fire) in the other.  Our first vote went to El Rincon Restaurant which is also in Tlaquepaque.  They offered three different chilis, all good.  They seemed to have a green chile base. read more

Questions we get a lot: Where do you go shooting?

Sedona is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest.  Shooting is permitted on CNF land unless a fire ban is in effect do to dry conditions. Remember it’s the law in Arizona that you must tell law enforcement officers if you have a firearm in the car with you if you’re pulled over.

We generally go to a sand pit off of Beaverhead Flat Rd (Map).  It’s popular and well known to locals.  It has a high, sandy embankment to safely shoot into and is not near anything.  To get there from the Village of Oak Creek, drive south on 179 a couple miles, go past the Ranger station and take a right on Beaverhead Flat. Climb up the hill and just before the top is a dirt road to the left. You’ll be able to see the area from the road.  Rules are posted and if a fire ban is in effect they will usually post it up there.  Please be safe, courteous and responsible when using firearms.  Don’t be surprised if the Sheriff stops by to check on things. In the summer it’s a good idea to check with the Rangers for any restrictions. read more
