Spectacular red rocks - Sedona AZ

Geologically, the history of Sedona began about 500 millions years ago. Over a period of 300 million years, the land was virtualy ocean bottom and coastal plain. Between 200 and 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the land.
Around 3 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau uplifted. Since then, erosion by wind, rain and snowmelt has created Oak Creek Canyon and exposed the layers of sediment to form the spectacular red rock formations we now see in Sedona.
Human pre-history began in Sedona about 4000 years BC when hunter-gatherers roamed and settled in the area. Between 900 and 1350 AD, a more advanced civilization, known as the Sinagua, began building pueblos and cliff houses. By 1400 AD the pueblo builders had moved on, and at about the same time Yavapai and Apache peoples began to move in.
