Traveler's Notes

Sycamore Canyon

Part of the Coconino National Forest, Red Rock Country offers incredibly divers scenery, ranging from ponderosa pine forests to red desert rock formation that gave it its name. Around one third of Red Rock Country is Red Rock - Secret Mountain Wilderness, a designated wilderness area, one of ten in Coconino National Forest.

The centerpiece of Red Rock Country is Oak Creek Canyon, the second most popular tourist attraction in Arizona (only Great Canyon attracts more visitors per year). There's good reason for this, Oak Creek Canyon is an amazing natural wonder offering many recreational activities.

Once nicknamed “Arizona's Little Hollywood”, Sedona was very popular among filmmakers in golden era of western movies, when it was frequented by such starts as John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Joan Crawford and even Elvis Presley. Today, Sedona is a vibrant city offering all urban amenities in the midst of scenic wilderness that surrounds it, and is home to several annual cultural events.
