Red Rock State Park is a 286-acre preserve just south of Sedona, showcasing the region's iconic red rock formations alongside a rare riparian habitat along Oak Creek. The park features a network of well-maintained hiking trails that meander through manzanita, juniper, and cottonwood groves, with interpretive signs explaining the geology and ecology. The nature center offers exhibits on local wildlife and plants, and ranger-led programs are available. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Cathedral Rock and the surrounding cliffs from several overlooks.
