What is "community" and does Sedona have it? 

What a person seeks in "community" varies between people.  Some people "commune" with nature and the outdoors.  Others seek a religious or spiritual community.  For families, community involves the quality or curriculm of education and recreation opportunities for their children.  Economic opportunity through employment or through the creation of a business enterprise may be the center of community for others.  

Sedona offers something for everyone.  If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you will find mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, camping, golf, running and more.  If you are a spectator, you will enjoy Phoenix's professional sport teams as well as those of Arizona State University.  For children looking to participate, there are numerous youth sports leagues.

Life style is supported in other ways in Sedona as well.  The religious and spiritual offerings are varied as is the scope of healthcare practitioners.  The Sedona art community is broad-based and rich in it's offerings supplemented by various art galleries and Sedona-based artists.  Community social consciousness in terms of the environment, human rights, animal rights and other social causes is very present in Sedona. 

Yes, Sedona does have Community!

 Sedona's Geology

In The Beginning...


It started about 225 million years ago when two of the earth's tectonic plates pushed-up against each of other giving rise to the Colorado Plateau.  The southern leading-edge of this collision is what we named the Mogollon (muh-gee-yon) Rim.  You'll impress the locals if you can pronounce it correctly.

Sedona's red rock rock formations are a product of wind and water erosion, not uplifting of the earth's crust as is the case with the Rocky Mountains.  The Colorado Plateau also happens to be dotted with the remnants of ancient volcanoes.  The San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff are the area's most visible example.  Around 8-10 million years ago, Sedona experienced significant lava flows that left a 75-100 foot layer of volcanic basalt in places.  If you look at the eroded edge along the top of Mount Wilson you will see a greyish-colored band of rock -- basalt!

The coloring and layers that you see are the result of changing geological and climatic conditions.  As you may recall from your geology class, earth began as a single continental mass.  As this single land mass broke apart, the pieces drifted through different climatic zones of the earth.  The land that is Sedona experienced desert conditions as well as being at the bottom of large bodies of water -- multiple times in-fact.  With the alternating ocean floor and desert conditions, layers of sediment were deposited each with different hues of color.

As you travel on Hwy 89A up Oak Creek Canyon, you get a close-up view of this erosion.  The road for the most part follows Oak Creek until road and creek separate at West Fork.  The creek carved West Fork beginning at the western edge of the Mogollon Rim.  The highway continues to the right making it's final switch-backed ascent up the Mogollon Rim.  Suddenly you are on the Colorado Plateau with it's vast stand of Ponderosa Pine -- the largest in the world.

When the first Native Americans arrived in the Sedona area, they sensed the extraordinary nature of the red rock formations.  As they moved among these formations and the canyons between them, they were overcome with feelings of their ancestors.  To the Native Americans, Sedona was a place to honor the past, live in the present and look to the future with hope.  Many people still see Sedona in this way today.
 

 
 
 

 Sedona Neighborhoods ~ Photos & Commentary

Airport Mesa ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos


Geologically, Airport Mesa is a part of the Colorado Plateau that has not eroded away.  It is centrally located between West Sedona, Uptown Sedona, Red Rock Loop and the Chapel area of Sedona.  The Sedona Municipal Airport is located on top.

Most of the residential subdivisions are on sloped terrain leading from the "valley floor" to the top of the mesa.  Many of the homes in the Airport Mesa area have great Red Rock views.  There are residential areas on all sides of the Airport Mesa.  The principal commercial development in the area is the Tlaquepaque Shopping Center and the Los Abrigados Resort.

There is a hiking trail that circles the Airport Mesa just below it's eroded edge.  The principal trailhead is on Airport Road.  Here you will commonly find a tour Jeep or two parked.  This is also the location of the "Airport Vortex".
 
 

 
 

Chapel Of The Cross ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos

 
This area takes it's name from the Chapel Of The Cross church constructed in 1956 through the generous inspiration of Marquerite Bruswig Staude.  The church has been maintained by the Diocise of Phoenix since 1969.

The Chapel area is nestled against the Mogollon Rim and bordered by Hwy 89A.  The Broken Arrow trail system is located in this area along with other-worldly red rock formations.  This residential area primarily consists of older subdivisions on above average sized lots.  The views are outstanding.

Along Hwy 89A you will find art galleries, lodging and restaurants catering to the tourists.  The deeper your travel into the Chapel area, the closer you are to the Mogollon Rim and the quieter your solitude.  It is easy to spend the day at home in the Chapel area.
 

 
 

Dry Creek Road ~ Neighborhood Profile

At the west end of Sedona, Dry Creek Road heads towards the Mogollon Rim in the distance.  At some point along this road you leave Sedona's city limits.  You will find gated residential subdivisions as well as free-standing homes and mini-ranches along Dry Creek Road.  Many of the residential developments that exist along Dry Creek Road are surrounded by National Forest adding to their prestige. 
 
An unpaved road off of Dry Creek Road leads to numerous trailheads.  You will find tour jeeps and mountain bikers sharing this unpaved road with you.   
 
Upon arriving at the end of Dry Creek Road, you have a choice of direction.  Turning left will lead you to the Enchantment Resort and eventually the Palatki and Honanki Native American ruins.  Traveling right leads to the Seven Canyons Golf Resort.  There are numerous trailheads in either direction. 
 
At one time, this area was consider remote to Sedona, now the Dry Creek residential subdivisions are considered exclusive. The scenery in this area is spectacular!
 

 
 

Oak Creek Canyon ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos


As you leave Sedona north on Hwy 89A you enter Oak Creek Canyon.  The drive is considered among the most scenic in the United States.  The road follows Oak Creek for much of the journey through the Canyon.

Sedona is at an elevation of approximately 4,500-feet.  The top of the Mogollon Rim is approximately 6,500-feet.  As you drive up the Canyon you will notice climatic and accompanying botanical changes -- tall pine trees and cooler temperatures.  You are leaving the high desert of Sedona. 

You will pass small residential subdivisions, individual homes, lodging businesses with restaurants, a Sedona fire station, a trout farm, Slide Rock State Park, a public water spring and numerous campgrounds and trailheads. 

Living in the Canyon means that you are not alone.  With it's babbling Oak Creek, towering Red Rock cliffs and scented pine forest, the Canyon is meant to be shared.
 

 
 

Red Rock Loop Road ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos


The Red Rock Loop Road begins in the west end of Sedona by the Sedona High School and forms a large loop returning to Hwy 89A just west of the City.  The name of the road is not only descriptive of it's shape, but of the scenery through which it passes.

In 1930 a low water road crossing of Oak Creek was established connecting the area now known as the Village of Oak Creek and the west end of Sedona.  In 1978, unprecedented rains caused widespread flooding of Oak Creek and washed out Red Rock Crossing after continous use of almost 50-years. The crossing was never rebuilt.  In 1986, the land surrounding the former Red Rock Crossing was acquired by the State of Arizona and opened as a park.

As you travel down Red Rock Loop Road you are mostly passing through National Forest lands.  You will see the occassional residential subdivision and individual homes.  Fascinating is the street named Disney Lane -- locals will tell you it does relate to the famous Disney family.  Catherdal Rock, the most famous of Sedona formations, is most often photographed from the Red Rock Crossing vantage.

If you continue with the entire Red Rock Loop you will travel on unpaved road for short distance -- all part of the adventure.  This area is a quick 10-minutes from Sedona, but the tranquility is worth the drive for many.  Among the most stunning views in all of Sedona!
 

 
 

Uptown Sedona ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos

 
The earliest pioneers that settled Sedona resided in Uptown close to the life-supporting waters of Oak Creek.  Sedona Schnebly planted her famous apple orchard in Uptown.  In the heat of the summer, many early pioneers also tended plantings up Oak Creek Canyon at Indian Gardens.  Evidence exists that Native Americans cultivated in the area hence the name Indian Gardens. 
 
Uptown is where the merchants first set-up shop.  When Sedona's primary industry turned to tourism, the legion of merchants and innkeepers expanded to meet the growing crowds.  As an Arizona attraction, Sedona is second only to the Grand Canyon.  You will see an endless stream of tourist buses parked in Uptown for a few hours every day of the year.  There are residential subdivision in Uptown that span every decade.  The views are spectacular and the access to Uptown is convenient.
 
In the past ten-years, the City of Sedona with the cooperation of the Uptown merchants implemented a new design for the Uptown merchant area that incorporates public art, shuttle service, parking solutions and an improved pedestrian experience.  When guests visit you, you will undoubtedly take them to Uptown at least once.
 
It is fun to sit on a bench in Uptown and watch the people.  There is not a single visitor that does not find themselves staring at the amazing Red Rocks of Sedona.
 

 
 

Village Of Oak Creek ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos


The only exit sign marked "Sedona" on Interstate 17 is for Hwy 173 which passes through the Village of Oak Creek.  Although a municipality under separate governing, VOC commonly shares the Sedona mailing address as well as the school district.

For many, include oursleves, the first glimpse of Red Rocks were of Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte in the photo above.  The side of the highway is usually lined with cars with their occupants standing outside, cameras in-hand, pointing to the horizon.  Bell Rock is considered an Energy Vortex.  When we first saw it, we certainly felt something!

Housing in the Village of Oak Creek is slightly more affordable than comparable housing in Sedona.  For many locations within VOC, the views are equally awesome.  With fewer land constraints than in Sedona, VOC is home to two golf courses and an Outlet Mall.  While there are some tourist-oriented businesses, many merchants surrport the local residents.  You will find a Hilton Hotel, a few privately-owned B & B's and a number of restaurants.

Affordable views, fewer tourists and golf are a few reasons to consider the Village of Oak Creek.
 

 
 

West Sedona ~ Neighborhood Profile

 Click For More Photos


When the Uptown merchant turns-off the light and locks-up, where does she or he go?  West Sedona most likely.

West Sedona is home to the three large-format grocers, the movie theater, the public schools, two City Parks, the Teen Center, most of the banks, the auto parts store, the tire store, the community swimming pool, the doctors, the dentists, the car wash, the police department, the fire department, the auto body shop, etc..  West Sedona has the highest concentration of families although not to the exclusion of retirees.

As Uptown commercial rents escalated, some tourist-oriented merchants headed west.  You will find many new age retailers located in West Sedona since their clientele will find them.  The same is true for alternative restaurants that serve primarily vegetarian food.  Mountain Bike Heaven and Canyon Outfitter are also examples of businesses that cater to tourists as well as locales and need not be located Uptown.

The residential subdivisions in West Sedona are many and varied.  They span every decade starting in the 1950's.  Hwy 89A splits through the middle of West Sedona.  As a general rule, the closer that you are to the Red Rocks, the more expensive the real estate.    

Even though the business of life may seem as any other small community in the United States, it's those Red Rocks they don't have!
 

 
 
 
 

 Sedona's Climate


At an elevation of approximately 4,500-feet, Sedona is considered "high desert".  The dominant attribute of Sedona's weather is the number of days of sunshine enjoyed by it's residents.  Although sumertime daily high temperatures can be quite warm, it is Sedona's elevation that allows for comfortable evening temperatures. 

High desert does mean below average humidity, but not arid conditions.  Sedona receives precipitation year-around with concentrations in early spring and again in late summer.  Sedona does receive snow in the winter months, but it's tenure on the ground is brief. 

The summer rain season is referred to as the "Monsoons" as the prevailing winds shift and bring moisture up from the south.  The Monsoons can result in thunderstorms or just brief windy conditions without much rain.

 What Is A Vortex?

Cathedral Rock Vortex

Most residents of Sedona can name the four commonly regarded Sedona vortexes. If you ask 20-Sedonians what a vortex is, you will likely hear 20-different explanations. You could conclude that it’s all made-up or, perhaps, it's personal to each person that you asked. They will each have an opinion and some will answer with a great deal of passion.

Without question, the scenic beauty of Sedona causes pause in most people. The four vortexes of Sedona  --  Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Airport Mesa and Boynton Canyon  -- certainly possess the beauty to stir feelings.

The Native Americans that lived in and around Sedona considered it a sacred place, a place for ceremony. Sweat lodges and medicine wheels were the vehicle used to “connect” to the land. It is the land that holds the energy most will tell you. Today, people study the sacred geometry and Ley Lines they believe Sedona is home to.

To my knowledge, there is no scientific proof of Sedona’s vortexes. For some, this means they don’t exist. The frontiers of science are forever advancing. One-hundred years ago, most “science” that is now a part of our daily lives (computer, cell phones, etc) didn’t exist. Man cannot explain much of what exists in space, yet it does exist.

When we personally visit Sedona’s vortexes, we don’t go there looking to find something, yet when we leave, it seems that we did. The magic is in the eye of the beholder.
