Sedona Arizona - Spectacular Photos and Views of the Beautiful Red Rocks
The breathtaking beauty of Sedona, Arizona captures those who are lucky enough to experience the magnificent, natural red rock sandstone formations surrounded by pristine National Forest. Sedona has an intrinsic mystique that radiates from the landscape and many become caught-up in a sense of wonder and awe as they gaze upon it.
Sedona's natural beauty seems to go beyond what pleases the eye. There is an extraordinary energy which permeates the very soul as one experiences the red rock formations which have been sculpted by the forces of nature over eons and eons. Sedona is purportedly home to several vortices–swirling pools of electromagnetic energy that radiate from the earth. The more popular vortexes are Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Boynton Canyon, and Airport Hill. These sites in Sedona are said to be similar to various other power spots around the world.

Sedona Red Rock Country tips & insights
When to come
The area can sometimes be very hot in mid summer. The ideal times to come are April to mid-June and mid-September to mid-November (when nature's autumn foliage display of red, orange and yellow colors occurs).
Best time for photographing
Take most of your photos in the late afternoon when the sun's low-angled rays intensify the red sandstone hues. Morning light is fine, too, but many of the top photogenic sites are better positioned for late-day shots.
Creation
The formations were carved over the ages by the erosive effects of wind, water and ice. They are varied: buttes, pinnacles, canyons and mesas.
Why the rocks are red toned
The sandstone acquired that hue because its iron component had rusted (oxidized).
Movie location
For 75 years the Sedona area has been serving as a backdrop for Hollywood movies.
