The first Anglo-European settlers arrived in Sedona in 1876 and were farmers and ranchers. In the 1950s, Sedona developed as a tourist destination and subsequently become a popular place to own a vacation home or even retire to. The largest decade of development was between and 1980s and 1990s and most of what you’ll see today was constructed then.
The mild climate, a quirky arts community, scenery that is other-worldly and miles and miles of hiking and biking trails make Sedona a haven for those seeking something different. Whether it be spiritual or just Mother Nature’s best work, you’ll find yourself at peace here and wanting to stay longer.
You’re also likely to feel a bit of déjà vu as Sedona has provided the backdrop to more than sixty Hollywood films over the years.
