Things to do in Sedona

Sedona is a small city surrounded by some of the most striking scenery in the Southwest: sandstone buttes and spires such as Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte, glowing red against the green of the Coconino National Forest. The local economy is built on tourism, with destination resorts, spas, galleries, jeep tours and wellness retreats drawing visitors from around the world, many of them interested in the area’s famous vortex sites. Second homes and retirees add a year-round population, and the wineries of the surrounding Verde Valley have grown into a destination in their own right.

    Slide Rock State Park

    In Oak Creek Canyon north of town, a natural chute of slick sandstone creates a water slide in the creek, set on a historic apple farm. Summer weekends fill early.

    Built in 1956 into the red rock buttes south of Uptown, this Catholic chapel with its towering cross-shaped facade offers quiet interiors and panoramic views.
