North-Central Arizona Places

Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon

Planning Your Time

In warmer months visit air-conditioned shops at midday and do hiking and jeep tours in the early morning or late afternoon, when the light is softer and the heat less oppressive. Many of the most memorable spots in Sedona are considered energy centers; vortex maps of the area are available at most of Sedona's New Age stores.

The vistas of Sedona from Airport Mesa at sunset can't be beat. The Upper Red Rock Loop has great photo opportunities.
