From the far-out to the apparently average, people of all stripes are deeply affected by Sedona's mysterious draw, known to many as "Red Rock Fever." It's a phenomenon so common that an entire industry has bloomed in Sedona catering to those who come here for healing, clarification. or inspiration.

Long before the intuitives, channelers and massage therapists took up residence, long before non-native settlers broke their backs tilling Sedona's rocky soil, people from all over the Southwest regarded Sedona as a special place, reserving certain canyons for sacred activities only.

What is it about this place that has touched so many souls for thousands of years? The explanations are as diverse as the people who come here. Many attribute Sedona's special draw to the "vortexes," specific points of energetic intensity among the red rocks that affect every living thing. Some look to native theology and folklore for an explanation. There are enough UFO stories around Sedona to give even the most staunch skeptic pause.

But it could be as simple as the stunning beauty that meets the eye at every turn here in Red Rock Country. The commanding landscape seldom fails to inspire a deeper connection and reverence for the earth and the universe in people who see it for the first, or the thousandth time.

Whatever your spiritual inclinations, you're almost sure to find something that resonates with you in Sedona, and plenty of people with whom to share it.

Ever since the early days of movies, when Hollywood has wanted to show the unique beauty of the West, it has gone to Sedona, a place that looks like nowhere else. Some hundred movies and TV shows have been filmed in and around town. We fell under Sedona's spell, too. The area's telegenic canyons, wind-shaped buttes and dramatic sandstone towers embody the rugged character of the West -- and the central place that Western character holds in our national identity. There's a timelessness about these ancient rocks that fires the imagination of all who encounter them. Some 11,000 years before film cameras discovered Sedona, American Indians settled the area. Homesteaders, artists and, most recently, New Age spiritualists have followed. Many cultures and agendas abound, but there's really only one attraction: the sheer, exuberant beauty of the place. People come for inspiration and renewal, tawny cliffs rising from the buff desert floor, wind singing through box canyons, and sunsets that seem to cause the ancient buttes and spires to glow from within. We hear the canyon's call and cannot resist.
