Sedona, Arizona, also referred to as Red Rock Country, is a fabulous Southwest vacation destination rich in history, nature, geology, archaeology, and art. A small town (population about 11,000) surrounded by national forest in Northern Arizona, its main attraction is its striking red-rock landscape, characterized by magnificent red sandstone formations. At sunset, the "Red Rocks of Sedona" appear to shimmer with brilliant red-orange hues.  Famous red-rock formations include Coffeepot Rock, Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Chimney Rock and Snoopy Rock. Cathedral Rock at Red Rock Crossing is the most photographed place in Sedona.
