Cathedral Rock
Why visit: The most photographed formation in Sedona — and arguably the Southwest. A short, steep climb rewards you with one of the country's great viewpoints. Sunset is unforgettable.
Bell Rock
Why visit: Easy to reach, dramatic up close, and a great introduction to Sedona's red rocks. The Bell Rock Pathway suits every fitness level, and the views start from the parking lot.
Chapel of the Holy Cross
Why visit: A modernist chapel built into a red rock spur — quiet, free to visit, and one of Sedona's most striking man-made landmarks. Go early to avoid the parking crowd.
Tlaquepaque Village
Why visit: A shaded, walkable arts and shopping village styled after a traditional Mexican town. Galleries, fountains, courtyards, and some of the best independent dining in Sedona.
Red Rock Scenic Byway
Why visit: A short, postcard-perfect drive between the Village of Oak Creek and uptown. Pull-outs every few minutes — bring a camera and an extra half hour.
Airport Mesa
Why visit: Sedona's best sunset spot. A short climb from the parking lot gives you 360-degree views across the entire red rock country. Bring a jacket year-round.
Devil's Bridge Trail
Why visit: The largest natural sandstone arch in Sedona — and one of the best trail hikes in the area. Start early; the parking lot fills by mid-morning.
Slide Rock State Park
Why visit: A natural sandstone water slide carved by Oak Creek — Sedona's summer classic. Bring sturdy water shoes and arrive early in peak season.
Oak Creek Canyon
Why visit: One of the most scenic drives in Arizona. Cool, shaded, and a different feel from the red rocks — perfect for a slow afternoon and a creekside lunch.
Sedona Jeep Tours
Why visit: The classic Sedona experience — off-road trails, expert guides, and access to overlooks you simply cannot reach in a rental car. We'll happily recommend an operator.
Dining & Shopping
Why visit: From wood-fired pizza on a creekside patio to Southwestern fine dining and local artisan shops — Sedona's small-town food scene punches well above its weight.
Vortex & Wellness
Why visit: Whatever you believe, Sedona's vortex sites — Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Boynton Canyon — are some of the most peaceful places on earth to sit quietly and look up.
