Geology Hike at Red Rock State Park
Red Rock State Park
Sunday, November 9, 2025 1 p.m.
Red Rock State Park is located at the base of the Mogollon Rim, the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The escarpment is over 200 miles long and ranges in height from 2,000 to 3,000 feet over the valley below. Over millions of years of erosion the rim has receded over four miles leaving behind the picturesque features of Sedona.
Our monthly-guided geology hike will be held at 1:00 p.m. and starts with a presentation in the theater. Join our knowledgeable volunteers as they venture out on our trails and discuss how Sedona transformed into what we see today. The program typically lasts two hours and is included with park entrance fees.
Hike is included with park entrance fees.
- $10.00 ages 14 and up
- $5.00 ages 7 - 13
- Free for ages 6 and under
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED: please call (928) 282-6907. Call the park starting the first day of the month of the event to reserve your spot.
Please bring water and wear suitable footwear.
