Airport Mesa
A mesa lookout and vortex beside downtown, with 360° views over West Sedona and the surrounding red rocks. The top choice for sunset.
Airport Mesa is the flat-topped mesa where the Sedona airport sits. The Airport Mesa Viewpoint, halfway up the mesa, is the town's most popular sunset spot. From here you get 360° views of Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Coffee Pot Rock, and West Sedona. It is also considered one of the vortex sites. The small parking lot has only a dozen or so spaces and usually fills up before sunset. Instead, you can park at the Airport Scenic Lookout at the top of the mesa, beside the airport (fee applies). The Airport Loop Trail circles the mesa for about 5.6 km.
