Sedona Red Rocks — Live Cam

This live camera looks out over the red rock country of Sedona, Arizona — a landscape of towering sandstone buttes, spires, and mesas that glow in shades of crimson, orange, and rust. Carved over millions of years and stained red by iron oxide, formations like Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Coffee Pot Rock, and Thunder Mountain rise above the high desert at around 4,500 feet. The Chapel of the Holy Cross, built into the rocks themselves, is often in view. Sedona is all about the light. The red rocks are at their most vivid at sunrise and sunset, when low sun sets the sandstone ablaze — the "golden hour" here is genuinely spectacular. Midday flattens the color but offers clear, deep-blue desert skies; summer afternoons can bring dramatic monsoon storms. Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time year-round, three hours ahead of Hawaii. Sedona is a magnet for hikers, mountain bikers, and seekers drawn to its famous energy "vortexes." Surrounded by the Coconino National Forest and red rock state parks, it's one of the most photographed and most beloved landscapes in the American Southwest.
