Sedona is one of Arizona's premier tourism, recreation, resort and art centers. Its location at the mouth of scenic Oak Creek Canyon and at the center of the state's famous Red Rock Country affords breathtaking panoramas, a mild climate and plenty of sunshine. The area is the second most visited site in Arizona after the Grand Canyon. Established in 1902, the community was named for Sedona Schnebly, an early settler. Spreading across the central Arizona counties of Coconino and Yavapai, Sedona sits at an elevation of 4,500 feet (about 3,200 feet higher than Phoenix). Via Interstate 17, the town is 120 miles north of Phoenix and 30 miles south of Flagstaff.
Getting There: About two hours from Phoenix, take I-17 north to Arizona 179 (Exit 298) and continue 15 miles to Sedona. You can also fly into Flagstaff & rent a car for the 30 mile drive. There are limited rental agencies in Sedona, so we recommend that you rent a car in Phoenix or Flagstaff. The Grand Canyon is about a 2.5-hour drive north of Sedona.
Sedona has something for everyone - world-class resorts, small family-run motels, bed & breakfasts, fine restaurants, diverse shops and art galleries. The beauty of the area makes sightseeing and hiking popular; golf and tennis are almost year-round activities. Visitors can take a jeep tour into the backcountry or view the red rock monoliths from horseback or hot air balloon.
Other attractions include Bell Rock, Slide Rock and Red Rock State Parks, Chapel of the Holy Cross, the Sedona Arts Center and Tlaquepaque, a Mexican-style arts and crafts village. Highway 89A through Oak Creek has been named by Rand-McNally and others as one of the most beautiful drives in America. Visitor sites that are just a day trip away include the Grand Canyon, Jerome, Meteor Crater and Sunset Crater.
