Sedona, Arizona is well-known for its rusty red rocks that dominate the desert landscape, but is the park named after this beautiful feature the best option for visitors? Today we visit for the first time, hike, and judge for ourselves.
Red Rock State Park boasts 286 acre of nature to hike and relax in. Five miles of trails wind throughout the park, in and out of the greenery of juniper trees and other trees. Oak Creek wanders through the preserve providing a water source for animals and creating a lush riparian habitat perfect for cooling off in the shade.
Inside the park are numerous overlooks giving the opportunity to view the fantastic rock formations of Cathedral Rock, Napoleon's Tomb, Seven Warriors, and the Three Sisters.
A full museum and visitors center offers a variety of special programs for school groups and private groupsas well as a number of daily and weekly park events.

We stumbled upon this park driving around places by our hotel. Stared at that water for a long time. It was a great day.

@CactusAtlas 8 месяцев назад

Certainly sounds like a great day in our book! 😊

By the time the state established this park in 1986, like you mentioned in the video, most of Sedona was developed. Between the development and Forest land, the park was pushed to the outskirts. That said, it’s mission statement is the preservation of the riparian habitat along Oak Creek. It was almost named Oak Creek State Park because of that. Enjoyed the video.

@CactusAtlas 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so very much! 😄👍

@mojavemike6522 Год назад

A very nice video. Enjoyed the music scores for mood.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Thank you very much! We're glad to hear that. 😊

@valeriewagner-gautier1558 Год назад

I just found your channel and loving it. Sedona is one of my favorite places in the world. I just love Snoopy Rock.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Awesome! Thank you and welcome aboard! 😊 Snoopy Rock is one of our favorites as well. Once you see it, you can never unsee it.

@SwiftyTravels Год назад

I was really expecting more red rocks- not I was expecting. But still super pretty!

@CactusAtlas Год назад

That's kind of what we went away thinking. With a name like Red Rock State Park, you would think it would be closer. Still a beautiful place though. 😊

@foxmulder4269 Год назад

Thanks, Really Good video..

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

@lzwnn Год назад

Even though the rocks are a ways out from the trail, the whole effect was so peaceful. As was the music. Another lovely hike, thanks to you both!

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Many thanks! Sometimes one has to stop and take in the whole scenery and the park really does offer that opportunity. 😊

@susangriffithyakes3623 Год назад

One of the most beautiful places on Earth.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

We cannot disagree! One of our favorite places to explore.

@abdurroufkhan5788 Год назад

Hey, I’m from south Asian Country Bangladesh . I love Wild West

@jo6pak 10 месяцев назад

i never knew it was so green there.

@CactusAtlas 10 месяцев назад

Indeed it is in certain areas! Such a beautiful contrast, isn't it? 😄

@carolguezen5829 Год назад

Amazing! Definitely serene and peaceful.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

It really is! Sedona is a great place. 👍

@hhawg1 Год назад

What a peaceful relaxing hike. Thanks for the video.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Our pleasure! 😊

@gstiles7 Год назад

What a great place that I would suspect is rarely seen. At least I know I never went there.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Definitely worth a visit if in the area and have the time. 😊👍

@toshibavoodoo Год назад

LOVE LOVE LOVE, the mapping! I usually watch your video's and save to my Google Maps as points I want to visit....

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Glad you like them! We have a map with a ridiculous amounts of pinned places as well. 😅

@markgorton5865 Год назад

I was actually there a few years ago and would like to go back. We didn’t walk as far as Glenn but enjoyed what we saw. Thanks for taking us along with you

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! We might have to one day go back to explore the other trails. Being a completionist and all. 😅

@SidetrackAdventures Год назад

Great video. I know exactly what you mean about the scenery being far away on video. Things always look so much bigger when you are there and you get home and you see the footage and things are so small.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

So true! 😅 As for the park though, it's rather removed from being in the red rocks themselves. Not so fantastic for being immersed in them, but GREAT for getting a good wide look at them.

@Angry_Toe Год назад

Another great video- Superb editing! I think we take video quality for granted because there is so much great content out there, but it is always impressive to think that you guys are armatures (kinda) and still making excellent videos. Big fans here in Dallas!

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Thanks so much! Always more to learn for sure and room for us to make improvement but we're enjoying it so it makes it fun. 😊

@bfoz Год назад

Looks like an amazing place

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Highly recommended if ever in the area. 👍

@lauraslanesvanlifetravels Год назад

Well I know what I'm going to check out this fall I've not been able to figure out where to go so I can get right next to the creek!

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Happy to help out! Fall is a GREAT time to visit Sedona and the Oak Creek area - definitely very crowded but beautiful to see. 😄

@MissAstorDancer Год назад

Loved this SO MUCH! Such a beautiful place! I have a strong attachment to Sedona, and have been there 4 times in my life, but neither time was more than an overnight stay and a restaurant, and perhaps a bit of Shopping in town. Only got to do THIS kind of exploring when I was a very small child, and only briefly then! Thanks for taking us with you! Ahhhhh, I remember the smell of Pinon Pine!!☺

@CactusAtlas Год назад

It is our absolute pleasure! We know Sedona means so much to a lot of people and are so happy to be able to bring it to you. 😊

@DovieRuthAuthor Год назад

Those are some lovely trails, Glenn. I would have tagged along no matter how far you went. Thanks for sharing.

@CactusAtlas Год назад

Thank you, Dovie. Happy to have you virtually tag along with us. 😊

Twisted Junipers and Pines? Meaning? You said some of us would know what it means. Please tell. What does it mean?

@CactusAtlas 4 месяца назад

It's kind of an old joke on the channel. There are many among the internet who would say that twisted junipers are a sign of vortexes (especially in and around Sedona, AZ). We filmed a video at Bell Rock in Sedona and sort of poked fun at the idea, but in general we find them pretty fascinating and beautiful. 😊

@jesurunsounds Год назад

what trails get you closer to the mountain

@CactusAtlas Год назад

In the park, probably no trails will take you super up close (we could be wrong) but if you're looking to be up in them, Bell Rock Trail or Cathedral Rock Trail would take you to them.

@jesurunsounds Год назад

@@CactusAtlas awesome and thanks for the videos i look forward to them

@juniperdog5523 Год назад

Maybe you said, but how much did it cost to enter/park?

@CactusAtlas Год назад

We didn't mention or include it in the video as prices change over time. We do include the link to park websites, however, if there are any others you're interested in. Currently as of today (2/3/2023) the park's website lists admission as $7 for adults and $4 for children.
