Sedona is one of America’s most beautiful places and is home to many majestic Red Rock formations. There is no better way to enjoy this magnificent countryside than attending a sightseeing tour or with one of the local tour guides.

Towering above Oak Creek Canyon, Snoopy rests asleep atop his doghouse with Woodstock on his nose.
