Sedona, Arizona

A couple of years ago, my family and I visited Sedona, Arizona. Ever since, it has been one of my favorite places I have ever been able to visit. It is one of the most beautiful and unique places I have ever seen. I can’t wait to visit again, but until then I’ll just write about what I love about it. 

The famous Red Rocks of Sedona are one of the most beautiful natural sites in the United States. 

When the sun is rising or setting, these formations are illuminated and appear to glow in brilliant orange and red. The red rocks of Sedona are formed by a unique layer of rock known as the Schnebly Hill Formation. “The Schnebly Hill Formation is a thick layer of red to orange-colored sandstone found only in the Sedona vicinity. The sandstone, a member of the Supai Group, was deposited during the Permian Period.” 

When my family visited, we took a pink jeep tour of the red rocks. This extreme off-road adventure was lots of fun and we learned a lot about Sedona. I highly recommend these tours. It did terrify my mom though so if anyone is afraid of heights, cliffs, or driving on bumpy trails, I don’t recommend the tours unless you are up for a challenge 😉

The town itself was very calm when I visited. It is a desert town with some very charming shops and restaurants along the main street as well as a small mall uptown.

If you are looking for a calm but at the same time adventurous location, Sedona is the place for you. Whether you want to hike around Red Rock Park or do yoga at sunrise, Sedona is perfect for chill and fun activities. However, the summer in Sedona can be very, very hot. The best time of year to visit, in my opinion, is during the fall. Anyways, thanks again for reading!
