Sedona Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Sedona, 120 miles north of Phoenix and 30 miles south of Flagstaff, as well as adjacent Oak Creek Canyon, embodies the type of landscapes we've come to expect of the West. Simply looking out the car window is a treat in this "red rock country" of pastel-painted bluffs, buttes, and boldly shaped geological formations. Driving into Sedona on Hwy 179, you'll see Bell Rock first and then come upon one of the area's most photographed natural marvels, Cathedral Rock, noted for its tall bluffs and spires flanked by stalwart masses of rock. Also look out for Snoopy Rock, a series of pinnacles and humps that, with imagination, somewhat resembles Charles Schulz's beloved beagle. New Agers are drawn to the region's "power spots," or vortices where the electrical and magnetic fields emit a special energy often described by devotees as peaceful and calming. The area is also a site sacred to Native Americans, one where you can still see ancient Indian rock dwellings.
