Welcome to Visit Sedona.org
- An Unofficial Visitors Vacation Guide to the Sedona, Arizona
At an elevation of 4,326 ft, Sedona is in the northern
Verde Valley region in the state of Arizona. Named after Sedona
Miller Schnebly (1877–1950), it was originally founded in
1902, and incorporated into a city in 1988. The stunning arrays
of red sandstone formations, the Red Rocks of Sedona, appear to
glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising
or setting sun.
In this retreat there are unique canyons,
creeks, mountains, forests, hiking and mountain biking trails surround
the area. Also, go camping, picnicking, and horseback riding. You
may play golf, tennis, or enjoy birding. There are State Parks,
tours and excursions. It is a paradise for artists.
FEATURED: The Chapel of the Holy Cross is an iconic Catholic chapel
built into the mesas of Sedona, Arizona, designed by architect and
sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Along with the numerous art galleries and restaurants
there are several events that are hosted annually in the Sedona
area, including the Sedona International Film Festival, Sedona Arts
Festival and the Sedona Jazz Festival. Free RoadRunner transit goes
from Uptown to the Hillside Plaza to Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts
Village.
