Red Rock State Park sits in the center of Arizona, a beautiful nature preserve that remains untouched and pristine. It’s the perfect place to take in these incredible rock formations that have put Sedona on the map as a favorite getaway destination. Red Rock State Park offers visitors five miles of curated and interconnected trails, weaving by Oak Creek and through high desert, manzanita groves, and scrubby juniper landscapes.

While only 286 acres, you’ll see a diverse change in landscape at Red Rock State Park. These trails are considered easy to navigate and are ideal for families or novice hikers. Due to its location on Oak Creek, this is also perfect for birdwatching in Sedona. You’ll likely catch sight of wild turkeys, herons, hummingbirds, quail, and roadrunners. Keep your eyes peeled for frogs, turtles, otters, and beavers in the water!

Before you start filling your itinerary with visits to Red Rock State Park and nature hikes, you’ll want to secure your lodging, and our Sedona Bed and Breakfast is the best of both worlds. You’ll be surrounded by the stunning Red Rock views while being pampered at our Inn with comfortable accommodations, shared spaces, a fantastic outdoor pool, and so much more.
