The only McDonald's in the world with turquoise arches rather than yellow ones. Sedona's building rules require development to sit quietly against the red rock, so when the restaurant opened in April 1993 the city refused the standard yellow and the franchise built it in turquoise instead. Tour buses stop here and people climb the arches to be photographed under them.
A cliffside swimming hole on Oak Creek about two miles north of Sedona, shaded and cool enough that the Forest Service recommends it as a respite from the summer heat. Picnic tables and vault toilets, no drinking water, and no camping — it is day-use only, and a fee applies. Allen's Bend trail leaves the car park, running north towards Casner Canyon and south towards Huckaby.
