5 fascinations about Sedona

Panoramic view of Sedona’s sandstone cliffs glowing in golden morning light.

Sedona is more than just a stunning backdrop—it’s a place that feels charged with something deeper. Artists, healers, adventurers, and spiritual seekers alike have all been drawn here, tracing the sandstone ridgelines in search of connection, inspiration, and stillness. This is a town where time feels slower, colors feel brighter, and the ground beneath your feet seems to hum with possibility.

Whether you come for the hikes or the healing, Sedona has a way of leaving an imprint that’s hard to shake.

Let’s see what we discover.

5. Sedona’s red rocks get their color from iron.

The iconic hue comes from millions of years of iron oxide oxidizing in the sandstone—basically, the rocks are rusted, and gloriously so.



4. It’s one of the only places with natural energy vortexes.

Sedona’s famous vortex sites are believed to be centers of powerful energy—drawing visitors for meditation, healing, and spiritual awakening.



3. It’s a designated Dark Sky Community.

You’ll see the Milky Way with stunning clarity here, thanks to Sedona’s strict light pollution rules and community-wide dedication to stargazing.



2. Movies have been filmed here since the 1920s.

Over 100 Hollywood films—including Westerns and sci-fi flicks—have used Sedona’s surreal landscapes as their natural soundstage.



1. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is built into a cliff.

One of Sedona’s most iconic sights, this modernist chapel was literally carved into the red rock, appearing to float above the desert floor.
