Tourism, in concert with the arts, plus varied e-businesses and outdoor sporting activities form Sedona's solid economic base with the US Forest Service estimating annual visitation at an astounding 4,000,000.  There is a definite season to the Sedona market, which corresponds to the periods of milder temperatures.  The spring months of late February to June together with the colorful fall months of September through November are peak visitation periods.

Red Rock Crossing - Sedona, Arizona

Sedona is the hub of choice for "high end" visitors to northern Arizona. After enjoying all Sedona offers, including Red Rock and Slide Rock State Parks, several popular visitor sites such as the Grand Canyon, the historic mining town of Jerome, Meteor Crater, Sunset Crater, Indian ruins and Native American Hopi and Navajo settlements are easy day trips.

Home to many "adult oriented" annual events and festivals, Sedona is typically "sold out" during many weeks of every year.
