The Red Rock Scenic Byway is the Gateway to world-famous Red Rock Country of Sedona, Arizona, located just 110 miles north of Phoenix, about 40 miles south of Flagstaff, and 150 miles south of the Grand Canyon.
The Scenic Byway is part of SR 179 and only 7.5 miles --- short in length but long on spectacular sights and things to do!
The Byway begins shortly after you exit #298 off Interstate 17, winding through Coconino National Forest (with several scenic pullouts) as well as through the extraordinary, prehistoric Red Rocks with nearby parking and all levels of hiking and biking trails.
The Byway also winds through the charming Village of Oak Creek (the historic name on some maps is "Big Park") and home to Sedona's only public golf courses and two of its most famous and beautiful Vortexes -- Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock!

In 2005, Red Rock Scenic Byway was chosen by the U.S. Department of Transporation to be Arizona's first and only All-American Road, which means it is a national "destination unto itself." The Byway is a destination you will not only want to drive -- but stop, stroll, hike, bike, golf, shop, dine, stay -- and enjoy!
