The changing autumn leaves aren’t nature’s only red-hued marvels to enjoy this season. Seated just over 100 miles south of the Grand Canyon, a unique red rock paradise is waiting to be discovered. Sedona, Arizona, is known for its brilliant towers of stone and sculpted cliffs that create a dramatic skyline like no other.
With nearly two million acres of national forest and 300 miles of networked trails for hiking and biking, this Southwestern city is primed for adventure. Whether you opt to book one of the many guided tours available to observe the incredible landscape or venture out on your own, you’re sure to be struck with inspiration as you explore your way through the red rocks and contrasting evergreen vegetation.
For those looking for a more relaxed getaway this season, Sedona is also home to more than 80 shops and galleries. In fact, it is known as one of the best small cities in the country for art lovers. With a handful of small production wineries, wellness spas, delicious restaurant offerings, artist workshops, and experiences, this one-of-a-kind destination is an ideal retreat for couples or a perfect balance for a fun family vacation.
