Where to Base
Stay in Old Sedona or the Verde Valley area for easy access to major attractions and dining. Since the city spans two counties, verify your location to plan routes efficiently.

Sedona straddles the Coconino and Yavapai county lines in northern Arizona’s Verde Valley, nestled within the Coconino National Forest. Renowned for its stunning pink sandstone formations that glow at sunrise and sunset, it offers a serene escape for hikers, mountain bikers, and those seeking spiritual rejuvenation. With a small local population, the city provides an intimate atmosphere surrounded by nature, making it an ideal base for travelers prioritizing scenic beauty and outdoor activities over urban bustle.

There is no major airport in Sedona; fly into nearby hubs and drive. Renting a car is essential as attractions are spread out and public transit is limited, making driving the best way to explore the red rock formations.
Spring and fall offer mild weather ideal for hiking and mountain biking. Summers can be hot and winters cold, but both seasons provide unique views of the rock formations. Plan your visit based on your preferred outdoor activities.
