The landscape around Sedona is defined by arid high-desert terrain and red sandstone buttes, which have shaped both the town’s low-rise layout and its tourism economy. Oak Creek runs through Oak Creek Canyon north of town, bringing a ribbon of riparian vegetation to a region otherwise marked by juniper, piñon and exposed rock. Sedona sits within the Coconino National Forest, where Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Snoopy Rock are familiar landmarks. The Chapel of the Holy Cross, completed in 1956, is set directly into the red rocks and reflects the city’s distinctive architectural identity. Galleries and studios underline Sedona’s established arts community. Move on to other webcams in Arizona to compare desert settings around Sedona.
