The best photos of Sedona aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Chapel of the Holy Cross will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Airport Mesa for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
A desert town surrounded by stunning red rock formations, known for hiking, spiritual vortexes, and one of America's most dramatic landscapes.

Sedona attracts visitors for hiking and photography, and Chapel of the Holy Cross and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Airport Mesa reward those who wander off the main path.
Start trails early morning to avoid afternoon heat and crowds. Cathedral Rock trail is steep — bring water and wear proper hiking shoes.
