  Canyon

  West Fork of Oak Creek

  A side canyon of Oak Creek Canyon, walked rather than viewed: the trail follows a stream between cliffs the Forest Service calls dizzying, crossing the water repeatedly on stepping stones. It is maintained and easy for the first three miles, and runs another eleven into wilderness beyond that. The Forest Service calls it one of the most popular trails on the Coconino National Forest; dogs must be leashed, nothing mechanised is allowed, and a day-use fee applies at the Call of the Canyon car park.

  Natural Landmark

  Crescent Moon Ranch

  A Coconino National Forest day-use area on Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing, where the water reflects Cathedral Rock — a view the Forest Service describes as one of the most photographed scenes in the Southwest. Paved paths run through picnic grounds to shallow water people wade and fish in, and a day-use fee applies. The site was a working cattle ranch; its buildings and waterwheel remain, and the ranch house is rented out by the Forest Service.

  Natural Landmark

  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.

  Landmark

  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.
