'''Sedona''' ({{IPAc-en|s|ɪ|ˈ|d|oʊ|n|ə}} {{respell|si|DOH|nə}}) is a city that straddles the county line between [[Coconino County, Arizona|Coconino]] and [[Yavapai County, Arizona|Yavapai]] counties in the northern [[Verde Valley]] region of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Arizona]]. As of the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]], its population was 10,031.<ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US0465350| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212174311/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US0465350| url-status=dead| archive-date=February 12, 2020|title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Sedona city, Arizona|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder|access-date=June 12, 2014}}</ref> It is within the [[Coconino National Forest]].
Sedona's main attraction is its array of red [[sandstone]] formations. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. The red rocks form a popular backdrop for many activities, ranging from spiritual pursuits to the hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Sedona was named after [[Sedona Schnebly]] whose husband, Theodore Carlton Schnebly, was the city's first postmaster. She was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness.<ref>[http://www.sharlot.org/archives/rosegarden/show.pl?woman=SEDONA%20MILLER%20SCHNEBLY Territorial Women's Memorial Rose Garden: Sedona Arabelle Miller Schnebly] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070418174926/http://sharlot.org/archives/rosegarden/show.pl?woman=SEDONA%20MILLER%20SCHNEBLY |date=April 18, 2007 }}.
