The Region

Arizona's Hidden Gem

The Verde Valley stretches along the Verde River between Prescott and Sedona — one of Arizona's most historically rich and naturally stunning corridors. Ancient Native American ruins, working ranches, craft breweries, and world-class outdoor recreation all share the same zip code.

Cottonwood and Clarkdale serve as the valley's adventure hub: close enough to Sedona to make a day trip, but with a character all their own. Come for the red rocks, stay for the river, the ranches, and the people.
