Certainly there is no end for the curious residents and visitors who seek the unique, private enjoyment of the canyons, creeks, mountains and forests that dot this beautiful land. All that is needed to tap into the area's natural pleasures is the ability to sense its splendor and the ambition to accept its inviting challenges. You could spend several weeks in Sedona exploring hidden canyons and enjoying red rock trails - or visiting the area's sacred sites or vortexes.
Just do it, and be fulfilled by the synergism of stimulating outdoor recreation complemented by incomparable natural beauty in community that promotes eco-friendly environment!

Hiking
The amazing hikes in this area all have individual character. Their special attractions are as varied as their degree of difficulty, unique location and historical significance. Some lead to high elevantions, some hug winding creeks, some afford awesome views of distant vistas, some offer intimate beauty. Fact is, picking Sedona's most popular hike is a fickle affair because recent experiences are remembered best, but you can't go wrong no matter what choice you make. Just remember hiking safety, litter defaces, leave no traces, and you need a Red Rock Pass if parking a vehicle on Forest Service land.
Biking & ATVing
Hiking vs. biking is a personal matter. They're both exceptional experiences in Red Rock Country, where an extensive connection of bike trails, often paralleling hiking trails, has been developed. Be aware, however, that bikes are not allowed in specially designated wilderness areas, only in the national forest proper. And remember that a Red Rock Pass, which is available at two chamber visitor centers and other locations in this area, is required for parking on forest land. Also, taking an ATV tour is quite popular in Sedona.
Camping & Picnicking
Popular day-use sites provided by the Forest Service are located at Call of the Canyon, near the trailhead at West Fork; Crescent Moon Ranch, headquarters for a world-famous view of Cathedral Rock; and Grasshopper Point, a smaller site near Midgley Bridge. Designated picnic areas named Encinoso, Banjo Bill and Halfway are creek-side haunts in Oak Creek Canyon, as are Bootlegger, Cave Springs, Manzanita and Pine Flat campgrounds. Call (877) 444-6777 for information or click here for Sedona Chamber of Commerce's list of campgrounds and RV facilities.
Horseback Riding
Another wonderful way to see Red Rock Country is to get back in the saddle again and follow happy trails like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers used to do. Some horseback rides include such entertaining delights as creek crossings and outdoor dining and you always can sing, of course.
State Parks
Slide Rock State Park in the heart of Oak Creek Canyon features a natural water slide eroded into slick rock surrounded by massive red-rock walls, as well as a beautiful orchard and historic barn. The slide makes this park a favorite of kids. A fee is required, and you can call (928) 282-3034 for further information. Red Rock State Park is labeled a different kind of park because it is a nature center that offers opportunities for recreational and educational enjoyment. Call (928) 282-6907. Dead Horse Ranch State Park is very much alive, despite its foreboding name. More than 300 birds fly through the park each year—from predatory falcons and migrating species to the inquisitive cactus wren, the state bird of Arizona. For more information, contact the ranger station at 928-634-5283. To read more about State Parks in the Sedona-Verde Valley area, use the following links.
Tours & Excursions
Sure, you can see some of the famous red rocks like Snoopy and Steamboat while walking down main street, and you can look down at winding Oak Creek from spots in the uptown area. However, to really see this community, as well as ancient ruins, pristine canyons, vortex sites and even the Grand Canyon, book a tour or excursion in Jeeps, airplanes, helicopters and hot-air balloons or on scenic railroads. Not only will you totally be amazed at the sights, you'll learn a lot about Red Rock Country, too. Visit the Sedona Chamber of Commerce for more information.
Golf & Tennis
If you're a golf buff, tee it up at highly rated championship courses open to the public, but don't get more concerned about taking shots with your camera than your clubs. Rather enjoy a short course? Play around on a couple of conveniently located executive courses. On the other hand, if tennis is your game, you'll love playing in Sedona during any season. The weather is ideal for tennis in winter, spring, summer and fall and this community's finest resorts offer professional instruction and scheduled competition on top-quality courts. Click here for a list of Sedona Golf Courses.
Birding
Maybe you've had enough hiking, biking and touring - now it's time to really relax, to listen to beautiful birds that whistle while they work. This community is situated at an elevation of 4,500 feet, at the upper margin of the Sonoran Desert. According to the Northern Arizona Audubon Society, this elevation, combined with a distinct change of seasons and rich riparian areas, results in a varied population of birds and thus, good birding any time of the year. Additional information is available at the District Ranger Station in Sedona. Click here for information on birding in Sedona and the Verde Valley area from the Sedona Chamber of Commerce.
Shopping
Sedona offers prestigious galleries and fashionable shops, enough to challenge the most ambitious collectors and buyers. Indeed, Sedona features five major business areas generally classified by geography and history. These areas are the original uptown, which is a favorite of tourists; West Sedona, often called the real town by residents; Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, a 30-year-old collection of Spanish-style buildings remindful of a Mexican hamlet; the Hwy 179 corridor, which includes Hillside and Hozho, and sometimes is called the gallery district; and Village of Oakcreek, an unincorporated community south of Sedona.
Walking the streets in uptown Sedona is a wonderful experience, because not only is this area historically significant, it has become an important shopping district because of an eclectic collection of interesting shops. Also, this area is the site of numerous services, including the chamber of commerce visitors center and, yes, uptown is this city's souvenir headquarters. Thanks to Sedona Main Street Program, there are relatively new crosswalks and traffic signals in the uptown area, an obvious necessity considering that the number of annual visitors has surpassed 4 million. This part of town also has benefited from the installation of inoffensive street lights, the creation of pedestrian-friendly centers landscaped with red-rock walls and planters, and the addition of public art in the form of large sculptures.
