Sedona counts among the top destinations for domestic and international travelers alike. Situated halfway between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon in the most temperate region of Arizona and world-renowned for the breathtaking beauty of its red rock landscapes, this town of 11,000 has much more to offer than first meets the eye.
 Sedona has a long and rich history. Prehistoric nomads moved through the area as far back as 3000 BC on the trail of game. Around 1200 BC, a group known as the Anasazi or Ancient Puebloans emerged and later blossomed into a thriving culture. Their western contemporaries, the Sinagua, built adobe dwellings into the red rock cliff walls around Sedona, and their remainders can still be found in the Sedona area today.
After the Sinagua disappeared around 1400, the Yavapai and Apache inhabited the lands around Sedona as hunter-gatherer cultures until the US army drove them out in the 1870s. Settlers taking over the abandoned orchards of the Native people formed the first white settlements in what is today Sedona – a fascinating place in many ways.
