Red Rock Scenic Byway is a nationally-designated scenic byway overseen by the National Scenic Byways Program, which chooses significant stretches of American roads for designation as prestigious All-American Road driving experiences. The route meanders along lovely State Route 179 throughout Arizona, stretching north to south from Sedona at Interstate 17 to Coconino and Yavapai Counties before its terminus approximately 15 miles north of Camp Verde. Stunning red rock and sandstone formations are showcased throughout the 7.5-mile drive, which meanders through the lovely vistas and hills of the Coconino National Forest. Visitors can drive along the banks of beautiful Oak Creek and explore some of the Sedona area's most acclaimed attractions, including golf courses and supposed New Age vortexes. Lovely scenic pullouts are offered along the way, along with opportunities for hiking and biking.
