Sedona is a city within Arizona's Verde Valley, home to a population of more than 10,000 residents.

The city was named after the wife of its first civic postmaster and is best known for the beautiful red sandstone formations that surround it, including steep canyons and brilliant red buttes.

Throughout the 20th century, the city was a major filming hub for Western-themed Hollywood films, including 3:10 to Yuma, Desert Fury, and The Last Wagon.

It is also a hub for New Age spirituality, serving as the site for the 1987 Harmonic Convergence event.

Uptown, the city is home to a significant arts district hosting annual events such as the Sedona International Film Festival, the Sedona Bluegrass Festival, and GumptionFest, one of the largest free music and arts festivals in the state. Nearby, Red Rock State Park offers a number of hiking trailheads and bird-watching sites.
