I love Sedona anyway, but it’s a real reminder of why national/state parks matter. Imagine if the heart of the wilderness there had been preserved earlier, and the town and tourist services were outside the gates, like at Zion and Rocky Mountain national parks. That would make it so much more magnificent! Conversely, imagine the town of Sedona on the valley floor at Zion. It could easily have worked out that way if we didn’t have the political will to protect it.
