OVERVIEW

Sedona is a small city in northern Arizona, surrounded by dramatic red rock formations, forest and dry canyon terrain. Residential areas, galleries and visitor services are spread along narrow roads between cliffs. The relationship between red sandstone towers and desert trails and spiritual tourism around a small city set within an extraordinary geological landscape gives the wider destination a clearly recognisable physical character.

Hiking, scenic drives and wellness experiences dominate, while traffic and trail congestion can be intense. Early starts provide cooler conditions and quieter access to the landscape. Experiencing both red sandstone towers and desert trails and spiritual tourism around a small city set within an extraordinary geological landscape provides a fuller perspective than focusing only on the principal visitor area.
