Situated in the high southwestern desert under the rim of the Colorado Plateau at an elevation of 4,500 feet, Sedona is blessed with four mild seasons, plenty of sunshine, and clean air. Because of Sedona’s pleasant climate, sightseeing, hiking, mountain biking, golf, tennis, horseback riding, and jeep touring are year-round activities. The City of Sedona’s main attraction is its array of red sandstone formations, which glow brilliant shades of orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun and provide a stunning contrast with the occasional winter snowfall.
