This small Arizona town – a hodgepodge of artists, mystics, outdoorsmen, and well-off retirees – draws some four million visitors annually. Sedona is equally popular for its inspiring red-rock landscape and proximity to the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest as it is for resorts, eclectic shops, fine dining, and spiritual enrichment.
Your camera won't rest as you wind your way through Sedona's breathtaking red-rock formations and scenery, but your mind and spirit can relax at a slew of spiritual and spa retreats.
