A vortex state of mind. Red Rocks, Sedona, Arizona, United States
Sedona, Arizona, is a place where nature, history and spirituality converge amidst stunning red rock formations. These fiery sandstone creations, part of the Schnebly Hill Formation, were shaped over millions of years during the Permian Period as sediment accumulated in an ancient sea. Over time, erosion has further sculpted Sedona's landscapes, which now glow brilliantly at sunrise and sunset. Notable formations such as Wilson Mountain, Seven Sacred Pools and Cathedral Rock offer iconic views. Native American tribes called this region home, leaving behind awe-inspiring rock art, cliff dwellings and pueblos such as Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot.
A similar geological wonder can be found in southern India. In Kurnool city of Andhra Pradesh, the Orvakal Rock Garden is a sprawling more than 4 square kilometres landscape of stunning igneous rock formations, interspersed with serene water pools and ancient caves. The park features scenic hiking trails that wind up the rocky hills, providing panoramic views of the rugged terrain.
