The main limitation is that it’s a virtual experience—you won’t be able to physically feel the rocks, smell the desert air, or experience the terrain firsthand. For outdoor enthusiasts who crave actual hiking, this might serve only as a preview or a supplementary experience.
Plus, some travelers might find the price somewhat high for a virtual tour, especially when compared to the value of physically being on the trail. But if you value expert insights and the convenience of experiencing Sedona remotely, it’s a worthwhile option.
