Sedona is an Arizona desert town known for its towering red sandstone formations, energy vortexes, and extensive network of hiking trails.
Sedona is a high-desert town in Arizona surrounded by striking red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls, and pine forests. The town is geographically divided into West Sedona, Uptown (the main commercial and tourist center), and the Village of Oak Creek to the south. Visitors primarily come to hike the extensive network of trails, photograph the distinct Schnebly Hill Formation sandstone, and experience the famous energy vortexes. Major natural landmarks include Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Boyton Canyon. Beyond outdoor recreation, Sedona serves as a major center for wellness and New Age spirituality. The town features numerous spas, meditation centers, and crystal shops. Architecture enthusiasts visit the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a 1956 modern church built directly into the red rocks. Oak Creek Canyon runs north of the town, providing a greener, forested landscape with popular swimming spots like Slide Rock State Park. Because the trailheads and attractions are spread out across the valley, getting around requires a car or using the local shuttle system.
