Sedona sits about 30 miles south of Flagstaff, and its red rock landscape is unlike anywhere else in Arizona. Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and the clustered buttes of the high desert draw hikers, photographers, and road-trippers year-round.
What to Know
- Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock anchor the red rock landscape
- Hundreds of miles of trails ranging from short walks to full-day hikes
- Oak Creek and its canyon add water and shade to the scenery
The area offers hundreds of miles of trails spanning everything from short scenic walks to full-day hikes, with red rock views around nearly every bend. Oak Creek and its canyon add water, shade, and some of the most photographed scenery in the state.
Because the trails sit at lower elevation than Flagstaff, Sedona is often the warm-weather choice for a winter hike while the Peaks hold snow, and the drive between the two towns on Highway 89A is a scenic classic in its own right.
