What to do and see in Sedona, Arizona (AZ): The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

February 10, 2022 Jana Sager

Sedona is a true oasis, a vacationer’s paradise in the middle of the Arizona desert. Here, you’ll find resorts and spas, canyons and red rock formations. Bell Rock and Oak Creek Canyon are great hiking spots, and the dramatic architecture of the Chapel of the Holy Cross is a religious experience itself. When the sun dips down below the horizon it introduces the best show in Sedona: the night sky.

Red Rock State Park

Red Rock State Park is a 286 acre nature preserve and environmental education center with stunning scenery. Trails throughout the park wind through manzanita and juniper to reach the rich banks of Oak Creek. Green meadows are framed by native vegetation and hills of red rock. The creek meanders through the park, creating a diverse riparian habitat abounding with plants and wildlife. This riparian habitat provides the setting and the opportunity for the park to offer a focus on environmental education. Red Rock offers a variety of special programs for school groups and private groups. There are a number of daily and weekly park events. The park offers a visitors center, classroom, theater, park store, ramada and hiking trails.

Picked a perfect fall day for a hike through the park, starting at the visitor center, which was very detailed, and came equipped with a board listing recent wildlife sightings. A couple of trail segments were closed but we still got to see a lot of the park.

Munds Wagon Trail

This region preserves many unique red geological formations.

Reviewed By csatths - Peoria, United States

One of the nicest, up and down trails in Sedona. You go up and down quite often but nothing is too severe. Greta for a picnic, romantic hike or even a proposal setting especially by the water falls when it is not so dry. Great for a starter that wants the challenge of a hike and a change of scenery with every footstep.

This is a great hike but be prepared for hills and rocks to maneuver. Take water and sunscreen. This is a beautiful area with spectacular views!
