Sedona Attractions

Red Rock Crossing
The bridge is gone but the beauty remains. Recently a particularly
dramatic photograph taken here sold for $17,500. You've seen it in
pictures. Now experience it. Wade in the creek, swim in the swimming
hole, and enjoy the picnic
area or choose your own spot on the red rocks.
Cathedral Rock Cathedral Rock is Arizona's most
photographed spot. Considering the competition this should tell you
something.

Chapel of the
Holy
Cross This cool and dramatic church proves that being
on the rocks can be a good thing. Nor should we forget the parking
lot views.

Airport Mesa
Enjoy a
view of Sedona from on high. Senator McCain who has a vacation home a
few miles away announced the end of his
2000 presidential campaign at the airport.
|
Red Rock State Park
Our largest local park sponsors Park Service guided tours.
|
Tlaquepaque
Admission limited to those who can pronounce the name 5 times rapidly.
This beautiful re-creation of a Mexican village is a pleasant place to
be, a good place to shop. Many unique items for sale.

Schnebly Hill Road
(route 153; named after Sedona Schnebly). In contrast to the first two
paved miles, the next six unpaved miles might be the bumpiest trip of
your life and require a suitable vehicle. What better way to get full
value from that rental vehicle! This trip from Oak Creek up through two
red rock canyons provides awesome near and far views. Once at the top
you can continue by a beautiful mirror lake on to I17. The return trip
gives you one of Sedona's most spectacular entrances.

The Penrose B&B
May we add the view from the Penrose? The fact that local calendars and
post cards use pictures of our view (and, indeed, only a small part of
our view at that!) validates this suggestion. Beyond what you see from
your room, your balcony, and the deck, take a few steps up the path
behind the house or walk around the arroyo to the east for new views of
Courthouse Butte (which has been featured on the front cover of a
national road atlas), Bell Rock, one of the area's most colorful and
perfectly sculptured formations, Red Butte and Castle Rock. Notice the
amphitheater created by the surrounding buttes and enjoy the breeze
with its soothing hum. We think of this as a wonderful, at times even
awesome spot--why else are we here?
