Red Rock Loop Road ~ Sedona Neighborhood Profile
|
|
|
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!
