When you land
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.
