Discover your Inner Adventurer in Sedona...
If you've never been to Sedona, Arizona you will be simply amazed at all the fun to be had in our Red Rock Country.
Get face-to-face with Sedona's stunning beauty by trekking around more than 100 trails for hiking, biking, and trail running. Hop on board a hot-air balloon for a bird's-eye view of this red rock wonderland. Off-road tours lead to secret wilderness areas of incredible purity. And don't forget to look up: the city's bright, clear skies and starry nights make Sedona's stargazing a telescopic treat.
Extraordinary sightseeing is synomous with Sedona. Explore the Chapel of the Holy Cross, cool Oak Creek Canyon, Palatki and Honanki heritage sites, and the most photographed area - Red Rock Crossing. Day tours provide an inside look at a mining ghost town (Jerome), mansion-like dwellings, (Montezuma's Castle), canyon sanctuaries made of swirling sandstone (Antelope Canyon) and a lake with 2,000 miles of shoreline (Lake Powell), among other nearby locations.
Our weather supports all of this outdoor excitement, with an average daily high of 65 degrees and sunny blue skies.
Be sure to stop by our Official Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center to chat with our knowledgeable staff and volunteers who will make your visit the best it can possibly be.

Mountain Bike Action Magazine recognizes Hangover Trail |
 Sedona mountain biking takes a huge step forward with the Forest Service approval of the Hangover Trail. Known for its jaw dropping views, slickrock steeps, and exposed traverses, the Hangover Trail is a perfect showcase of Sedona's unique terrain. The Forest Service decision to make this trail official is viewed as a tipping point for mountain bike advocacy and Forest Service land management." MBAction.com
