- A 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.
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.
