Sedona sees a drop in tourism following the Pocket Fire

Sedona is open for business! President of the Sedona Chamber of Commerce David Key says the off-season is a great time to visit, adding the city has experienced a dip in tourism following the Pocket Fire. He says while Oak Creek and some hiking trails are still closed, there are hundreds of miles of trails that are open. 

Sedona has a $1 billion a year hospitality industry, with 3/4 of that revenue generated from visitors.
