Oak Creek flows through Sedona's iconic red rock canyon, one of the most photographed landscapes in Arizona. Slide Rock State Park draws visitors to the natural sandstone waterslide, while the creek meanders through towering crimson buttes and lush riparian forest. The 56-mile creek runs from a forested canyon above Sedona down through the red rock corridor and out into desert riparian before joining the Verde River.
