What makes a good sunset in Sedona?
Sedona red rock sunsets are among the most sought-after in the country. The iron oxide in the sandstone formations amplifies warm light — Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Courthouse Butte turn deep crimson at golden hour in a way that's hard to overstate. The dry desert air means color arrives fast and burns bright. Airport Mesa overlook gives you a 360-degree view of the formations; Red Rock Crossing puts Courthouse Butte over Oak Creek for reflection shots.
What time is sunset in Sedona tonight?
