Sedona, Arizona, also referred to as Red Rock Country, is a fabulous Southwest vacation destination rich in history, nature, geology, archaeology, and art. Surrounded by national forest in Northern Arizona, its main attraction is its striking red-rock landscape, characterized by magnificent red sandstone formations.
