Explore the Most Popular Sedona Travel Guide

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.

Adjacent to Sedona is Oak Creek Canyon, a 16 mile stretch along Oak Creek through towering, red canyon walls. The beauty, greenery and coolness of the creek attracts thousands of visitors each year, with Slide Rock State Park, a natural waterslide, the biggest summer attraction. There are some top hiking trails here, such as West Fork, and visitors enjoy the great trout fishing and camping too. In fact, Oak Creek Canyon boasts one of the most scenic drives in the USA.

Spiritual seekers come here from all over the world, attracted to what many believe are energetic places known as the Sedona vortex. Many stay in Sedona because it is a central hub to the best sightseeing opportunities in the area, including national monuments and geographic wonders like Lake Powell and The Grand Canyon.

Visitors to Sedona have a great choice of sightseeing and activities. There are several world class golf courses and spas, fun and educational jeep tours (a perfect family activity), tours to ancient ruins, and hiking and mountain biking trails that wind through what USA Weekend Magazine declared "The Most Beautiful Place in America.” In addition, Trip Advisor® announced that Sedona has won fifth place in its top ten Travelers' Choice US Destinations. Always of interest to tourists is the amazing Chapel of the Holy Cross, an architectural masterpiece built right into the red rocks.
