About Sedona

Our Journey Begins: 2012

Sedona was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to online resource for all things Sedona, Arizona—a vibrant and enchanting city nestled amidst breathtaking red rock formations. We recognized a growing need for a news website dedicated to sharing the unique stories, events, and hidden gems that make Sedona such an extraordinary place.

Over the years, we've witnessed incredible milestones: from covering local festivals and cultural events to breaking news about the region's environmental initiatives. Our site has become a trusted companion for both residents and visitors seeking insights into Sedona's dynamic community.

Our Purpose and Mission

At Sedona, our mission is to inform, inspire, and connect people through authentic storytelling. We strive to be the definitive source of news, features, and opinions that reflect the spirit of Sedona and its diverse population. Our core values revolve around:

The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks in-depth, locally focused content. Sedona, with its unique character, was missing a dedicated platform to showcase its local flavor.
