Sedona's Absolute Essentials

Sedona's landscape is defined by its iconic red sandstone formations, most notably the towering Cathedral Rock and the Devil’s Kitchen sinkhole. The Red Rock Scenic Byway offers a direct route through these formations, leading to the 1950s-era Chapel of the Holy Cross, which is built directly into the cliffs. For panoramic views, Airport Mesa and Chicken Point provide elevated vantage points of the high desert. Cultural experiences are centered at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, designed in the style of a traditional Mexican hamlet.
