Sedona Things To Do

Things To Do

Established as a small town in 1902, many of Sedona’s attractions highlight its storied past, from its rich Native American heritage to its Hollywood starlet days (it starred in a series of westerns) to its role as a haven for artists, who were lured by the surreal desert scenery and ample natural light.
