The Forest Service lists the Red Rock Pass at $5 daily, $15 weekly and $20 annually per vehicle, valid only on Coconino National Forest sites (an America the Beautiful pass can substitute at many sites). The City of Sedona's short-term rental FAQ lists combined taxes of 13.325% in Yavapai County and 13.90% in Coconino County (6.9% + 3.5% bed tax + 3.5% city hotel tax); we did not verify that hotels use the same figure.

Pass prices are from the Forest Service (read October 17, 2026) and may have changed; some concession-run sites use a separate pass and do not accept the Red Rock Pass.
