Sedona's main attraction is its array of red sandstone formations, the Red Rocks of Sedona. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun.
Sedona was named after Sedona Arabelle Miller Schnebly (1877−1950), the wife of Theodore Carlton Schnebly, the city's first postmaster, who was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness. The view above is from Schnebly Hill.
There is a specialized New Age tourist industry in Sedona, where the "Harmonic Convergence" was organized by a man named Jose Argelles in 1987. Some purport that "spiritual vortices" (local vernacular is "vortexes") are concentrated in the Sedona area at Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock and Boynton Canyon. These "vortexes" can energize most people who break their plane.....and even in rare occasions, they can be responsible for very strange behavior.....witness the photo of this man on the steps to Cathedral Rock

This poor man showed himself and then ran down another trail and was never seen again.
This Red Rock Mesa is framed by Cholla Cactus that are about to flower.
 The Chapel of the Holy Cross was completed in 1956. The chapel appears to rise some 250 feet out of a 1000 foot red cliff.

Amy, Pam, John & Alison at the foot of Cathedral Rock. From nearly every vantage point in Sedona one looks at the red sandstone rocks in nearly every direction. You can enjoy breakfast in one place with a gorgeous view of Cathedral Rock and lunch at another with a view of Snoopy's Rock. 
What better way to leave Sedona than with a photo that captures John and Alison, arms around each other, in a good snog!!
