The Seven Sacred Pools are a group of small pools, or tinajas, on the Soldier Pass Trail in the Coconino National Forest near Sedona, Arizona. They are carved naturally into sandstone and are easily reached from the trail, but can be seen only at certain times of year, as the stream that feeds them is seasonal. They lie on the border between Oak Creek Canyon and the surrounding desert and are an important water source for local wildlife; tadpoles are occasionally found in them. The name was given by local Jeep tour guides.

Sedona McDonald's
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.

Grasshopper Point
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.
