Sedona Sightseeing, Touring and Attractions
Red
Rocks State Park
he Red Rock State Park property was acquired by the Arizona State Parks Board
in 1986 and the park was opened to the public in 1991. The park's 286 acres
were originally part of the Smoke Trail Ranch, owned by Jack and Helen Frye.
Arizona's famous Oak Creek meanders through this scenic park, creating a diverse
riparian habitat abounding with plants and wildlife. This riparian habitat,
the land-based ecosystem closely associated with Oak Creek, provides the setting
and the opportunity for Red Rock State Park to offer a center for environmental
education.
Slide
Rock State Park
The park is named after the famous Slide Rock, a stretch of slippery creek
bottom adjacent to the homestead. Visitors may slide down a slick natural
water chute or wade and sun along the creek. The swim area is located on National
Forest land which is jointly managed by Arizona State Parks and the U.S. Forest
Service. Together these areas have seen the making of many Hollywood movies
such as "Broken Arrow" (1950) with James Stewart, "Drum Beat"
(1954) with Alan Ladd and Charles Bronson, "Gun Fury" (1953) with
Rock Hudson and Donna Reed, and a scene from "Angel and the Badman"
(1946) with John Wayne.
Fort
Verde State Park
Fort Verde State Historic Park is the best preserved example of an Indian
Wars period fort in Arizona. Spanning from 1865 through 1890 Camp Lincoln,
Camp Verde and finally Fort Verde were home to officers, doctors, families,
enlisted men, and scouts. Fort Verde was the primary base for General George
Crook's U.S. Army scouts and soldiers.
Jerome
State Historic Park
Jerome's modern history began in 1876 when three prospectors staked claims
on rich copper deposits. They sold out to a group which formed the United
Verde Copper Company in 1883. The resultant mining camp of board and canvas
shacks was named in honor of Eugene Jerome, the venture's principal backer.
Hopes for the enterprise ran high, but the costs of operating, especially
for transportation, outstripped profits, and the company folded in less than
two years.
Tonto
Natural Bridge Historic Park
Tucked away in a tiny valley surrounded by a forest of pine trees, Tonto Natural
Bridge has been in the making for thousands of years. It is believed to be
the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The bridge stands 183
feet high over a 400-foot long tunnel that measures 150 feet at its widest
point.
Grand
Canyon National Park
A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses
through its immense size. Unique combinations of geologic color and erosional
forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles
(29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep.
Montezuma
Castle National Monument
This five-story, 20 room cliff dwelling nestled into a limestone recess high
above Beaver Creek served as a "high-rise apartment building" for
prehistoric Sinagua Indians over 600 years ago.
