Sightseeing

There is a lot to see to do with short driving times. Water flows under and through this landscape, feeding the growth of people and towns. The Verde Valley is watered by snowmelt, summer monsoons, and springs that well up from the ancient sedimentary rocks. In the heart of the valley, a thousand years ago, people began to build pueblos and villages throughout the landscape.

Cathedral Rock is one of the most scenic hikes in Sedona with its breathtaking views from the top and one of the most popular landmarks in Arizona. Just a heads up: the hike is steep and requires a bit of climbing in certain spots. Although it is only 1.5 miles roundtrip, it is pretty strenuous, leading you up a moderately steep incline, but there is a beautiful reward awaiting you at the top and is well worth it! It is also a magnificent spot to enjoy the sunset!

Fossil Creek Just off Hwy 260, Fossil Creek, the other “Wild and Scenic” river in Arizona, seems to appear out of nowhere, gushing 20,000 gallons a minute out of a series of springs at the bottom of a 1,600 foot deep canyon. Most people come to Fossil Creek to sunbathe, wade, hike and bird watch. It’s also a great place to take photographs. The lushness of the riparian area strikes a sharp contrast to the brittle desert that surrounds it. Fossil Creek requires a permit from April 1 to October 1. Fills early in the day due to limited number of guests allowed. About hour and half drive, dirt road.
