Sedona, Arizona, 2 hours drive north from burgeoning Phoenix and 90 miles south of the Grand Canyon, lies amidst an ancient forest of juniper and pine, surrounded by the celebrated sculptured pinnacles and mystical vortexes of Arizona Red Rock Country.
One of America's premier tourism, recreation, arts, and cultural centres, Sedona enjoys a moderate elevation of 4,500 ft., escaping the desert heat of southern Arizona and mountain snows to the north, with either just a short drive away. Four delightfully mild seasons' with average annual daily temperatures of 74 and 46 degrees, and total annual precipitation of only 17 inches makes for an ideal getaway destination year round.
In addition to its unique and startling natural beauty, the vibrant city with a residential population of 12,000 has become nationally recognized as a creative and spiritual center, attracting artists, writers and visitors from around the world, highlighted by over 40 art galleries and significant cultural facilities.
Tourism, in concert with the arts, plus varied e-businesses and outdoor sporting activities form Sedona's solid economic base with the US Forest Service estimating annual visitation at an astounding 3,000,000. There is a definite season to the Sedona market, which corresponds to the periods of milder temperatures. The spring months of late February to June together with the colorful fall months of September through November are peak visitation periods.
World-renowned natural wonders of the area and its favorable climate coupled with super-clean air and water have made Sedona a sought after Mecca for visitors. Sightseeing, hiking, championship golf and tennis are almost year round activities. Visitors can take a Jeep ride deep into the exciting back country or view red rock monoliths from horseback, biplanes, and hot air balloons. Sedona Red Rock Country has been the setting of many major motion pictures and continues to be a favorite location for all forms of film making.
Sedona is the hub of choice for "high end" visitors to northern Arizona. After enjoying all Sedona offers, including Red Rock and Slide Rock State Parks, several popular visitor sites such as the Grand Canyon, the historic mining town of Jerome, Meteor Crater, Sunset Crater, Indian ruins and Native American Hopi and Navajo settlements are easy day trips.

Home to many "adult oriented" annual events and festivals, Sedona is typically "sold out" during many weeks of every year.
