Sedona Arizona Maps
Sedona Arizona maps are available here to help you get to and around Sedona. Sedona is easy to reach and well worth the visit. This is the home of Arizona's scenic Red Rock Country. It is a relaxed 40 minute drive south from Interstate 40 in Flagstaff. (Interstate 40 traverses the northern part of the state and connects with Interstate 17 in Flagstaff.) From Phoenix you can take Interstate 17 north for a scenic hour and a half drive. Sedona is located in north central Arizona, South of Flagstaff, and at the lower end of Oak Creek Canyon. This is a lush, colorful canyon with towering cliffs as a backdrop. Oak Creek is a cool, sparkling, and musical treat. To take the scenic route from Flagstaff to Sedona you can use Highway 89A. After transitioning from Interstate 40 to Interstate 17, take the Airport/Fair Grounds exit and turn right... then go about 50 feet and turn left. This route descends into the upper end of Oak Creek Canyon on a somewhat narrow, twisting, two lane highway, and then follows the creek down the canyon to Sedona. This is a beautiful scenic drive.
Sedona is most easily reached by car from Interstate 17. This highway runs from Phoenix in the south, to Flagstaff in the north. The Sedona exit is well marked... but you will miss the spectacular scenery of Oak Creek Canyon.
The Sedona airport is not served by the major airlines. The airport caters primarily to companies offering local tours and to private planes. The airport is apparently caoable of handling larger jets. When John McCain was running for president, he would use this airport when going to his retreat "ranch" nearny. If traveling by air, I suggest flying into Phoenix and renting a car for the easy, scenic trip to Red Rock country. Get on Interstate 10 , which runs right by the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Then take the well marked I-17 interchange north. Stay on I-17 for about an hour, and get off at the Sedona exit and drive a few miles into town. Once you get to Sedona, a variety of Sedona Arizona maps, Oak Creek Canyon, and West Sedona maps are available free from many merchants and the Chamber of Commerce. It's a good idea to have a map with you. These maps can identify landmarks, as well as direct you to them. The Sedona area has an amazing variety of accommodations for visitors to choose from:

And here's a map of the West Sedona area...
Sedona, as you will see, is an intimate community surrounded by grand scenery. It may be small, but it's certainly not short on amenities. Below is a map of Oak Creek Canyon. There are several good Forest Service campgrounds in the canyon. Most are located right along the creek. Recreational activities in Oak Creek Canyon (including camping) require a Red Rock Pass use permit.
Visit the Coconino National Forest's Red Rock District webpages for a lot of good information. Evan if you're staying in town, don't miss the drive through Oak Creek Canyon. It's rated as one of the most beautiful drives in the U.S.
