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.
