Soak up our winter sun

The only winter blues we get here are in the sky.

Sedona is so beautiful, it could’ve been a national park. Many visitors think it is one, and we understand why. But Sedona is unique because we get to live, work, and play right here in this amazing landscape. We love it, we take care of it, and we ask our visitors to do the same. It isn’t ours to keep, it belongs to all of us, and it deserves to be preserved for generations to come.

We invite you to experience it for yourself this winter, and soak up the views and the sunshine.

Picture this: the sun on your face, a light in your eye, and a smile in your heart. 200 miles of year-round hiking and biking. A classy assortment of art galleries, shops, spas, and nearby wineries. Relaxing resorts and delicious restaurants. Scenic views of famous red rocks around every corner… all beneath our steady Arizona sun.
