Sedona

In Sedona, Arizona, the landscape defines the experience with dramatic sandstone towers like Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock, set against vast canyons. The town serves as a hub for outdoor adventures—hiking, jeep tours, and scenic drives—alongside galleries and cultural sites such as the Amitabha Stupa in West Sedona. Start mornings with sunrise over the red cliffs, cool off at Slide Rock State Park along Oak Creek, and take the Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Drive for overlooks and canyon panoramas. For planning, check Red Rock Pass requirements at Red Rock Ranger District sites and consider using the Sedona Shuttle to access popular trailheads with easier parking. Nearby corners of West Sedona and the Coconino National Forest offer quieter trails and timeless views.
