Welcome to Red Rock Country!

mbracing the conservation of spectacular landscapes surrounding Sedona, and dedicating ourselves to engaging and encouraging visitors to do the same, is an immense and courageous undertaking.

owever, when we gaze upon this incredible land and wonder at its unique beauty, knowing that it can very easily become overused and under-appreciated, something uncomfortable stirs inside of us.

uddenly, our commitment to make a difference doesn't seem so considerable, and its absolute necessity is obvious...

Special Interest

Oak Creek Visitor Center

This popular visitor center at Indian Gardens has been recently renovated. It has brand new accessible rest rooms. These are the first public roadside rest rooms in the canyon and they were completed at Indian Gardens by the collective efforts of members of the Oak Creek Canyon Task Force in conjunction with Coconino National Forest.

The visitor center is managed under contract with Coconino Forest by Recreation Resource Management. They offer most types of hunting and fishing licenses, Red Rock Passes and Forest Service Information. They sell maps, hiking books and interpretive souvenirs.

The center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until November, weather permitting. Then it will be open on weekends (Friday through Sunday) through November (weather permitting).

Verde River Guide Now Available

In 1984 the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act established the portion of the Verde River from Beasley Flat downstream to the confluence with Red Creek, as Arizona's only Wild and Scenic River. While it may appear calm at many of the river access points, the large number of wrecked canoes that have been removed from the Verde River testify to the fact that is has its share of hazards. Please plan ahead, be prepared, and practice Leave No Trace ethics to leave the Verde just as you find it for those who come after.
