Sedona: Arizona’s Largest Producers of Memories

Making Memories

Although it doesn’t often brag about the fact, Sedona is a manufacturing town.

Sedona is one of Arizona’s largest producers of memories. Best of all, each memory is carefully designed and crafted right here in the community, using all locally sourced materials.

While the memory making business goes on all year, production always increases around the holidays. There’s just something about this time of year that draws family, friends and sweethearts to red rock country.

Start with the season. Sedona has the kind of winters everyone dreams about. The beautiful scenery is even richer and more colorful as the low-angled light of December and January caress the sandstone formations. The weather is wonderful—not cold—but mild during the days and just nippy enough in the evenings to enhance a cup of hot cocoa. And the rare snowfall is almost always confined to the shoulders of the mountains and mesa, adding a decorative frosting that makes the perfect setting for a family photo to adorn next year’s holiday letter—one that’s guaranteed to make all recipients green with envy.

If you’re the kind of family that plays together, Sedona is made for you. Enjoy hot air balloon rides, helicopter excursions, thrilling jeep tours, and gentle horseback rides. Hiking and biking trails weave through the landscape. And if you get the urge to go skiing, sledding or to build a snowman, there’s plenty of the white stuff to be found in the mountains just a half-hour up the road.

Where some see adventure, others see romance. Couples arrive in Sedona and the rest of the world slips away. As one of the most popular destinations in the Southwest, Sedona has developed a welcome assortment of lodgings, restaurants and spas designed for maximum indulgence and pampering.

Visit once during this time of year and then don’t be surprised if Sedona becomes a tradition. The memories forged here are built to endure. They’ll become so cherished that the special people in your life will want to return over and over again seeking more.

Welcome back. It’s always nice to hear from satisfied customers.
