The Pendleys planted apples that are still harvested, and you can buy the juice at the snack bar. Rangers offer guided walks through the grounds spring, summer, and fall, and bird walks April through November. Camera and hiking boots required at Red Rock State Park, Sedona. Five miles southwest of Sedona lies Red Rock State Park, an area once home to the Sinagua and Yavapai Indians. These 286 acres, at an elevation of 3,900 feet, are rich in wildlife and in stunning views of cathedral-like red rock formations.
Red Rock is one of Arizona's newest state parks.
The land was acquired from the Bureau of Land Management in 1986. The park has an exemplary Visitors Center and environmental education center, picnic areas, and five miles of hiking trails on ten developed trails. Pick up an ethno-botanical trail guide to help you identify the fourwing saltbush, or the broom snakeweed, or soaptree yucca, or the netleaf hackberry plants. The trails wander up and down hills and valleys. Guided hikes are held year-round.
