 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) located 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.
This exotic landscape forms a breathtaking backdrop for events, weddings and popular outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking. 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.
