Sedona began as a small, remote ranching and farming settlement in 1876 when the first permanent settler, John James Thompson, settled on property in Oak Creek Canyon, claiming it under the 1862 Homesteaders Act. By 1902, 20 families lived in the settlement and a postal station was petitioned for by Theodore Schnelbly. The petition was granted and Schnelbly named the new post office in honor of his wife, Sedona.

Naturally, Slide Rock State Park’s main attraction is Oak Creek, and a ride down the exhilarating 80-foot-long red-rock slide doesn’t disappoint.

More than 140 bird species call the park home, and even more pass through on their way to warmer climates come fall. Picnic areas, charcoal grills and two large ramadas with electrical outlets make things easy for gatherings
