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 of towering, red canyon walls. The beauty, greenery and coolness of the creek attract thousands of visitors each year, with Slide Rock State Park, a natural waterslide, the area’s largest summer attraction. There are some top hiking trails and visitors enjoy the great trout fishing and camping as well. In fact, Highway 89A along Oak Creek Canyon is one of the most scenic drives in the country.
