Sedona is an Arizona town 120 miles north of Phoenix. Known for its beautiful and serene setting amidst the Red Rocks, the town is also famous for its vibrant arts community. It boasts nearly 100 art galleries and plays host to annual events such as the Sedona International Film Festival, Sedona Arts Festival and the Sedona Jazz Festival.

Canyons, creeks, mountains and forests surround the area, while the main attraction, the Sedona Red Rocks, appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. To hike, remember to buy a Red Rock Pass from the Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center. With the pass, you'll be able to park at or near the trailheads for some of the United States' most spectacular hikes. For a challenge, try Cathedral Rock. It's steep, but the view is unparalleled.

There is a specialized New Age tourism industry in Sedona, where the "Harmonic Convergence" was organized by Jose Arguelles in 1987. "Spiritual vortices" are said to be concentrated in the Sedona area at Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Boynton Canyon and Schnebly Hill and many visitors come to the area in search of a mystical experience.
