Arizona’s ‘Snoopy Rock’ Formation Looks Just Like the Beloved Peanuts Character
SEDONA, ARIZONA — In the heart of Sedona’s red rock country, visitors can find one of Arizona’s most whimsical natural landmarks — a rock formation that looks exactly like Snoopy, the iconic beagle from Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comics.
Locals call it “Snoopy Rock,” and once you see it, it’s impossible to unsee. The massive sandstone formation strikingly resembles Snoopy lying on his back atop his doghouse, with his faithful bird friend Woodstock perched right on his nose if you look closely enough.
A Beloved Landmark with Cartoonish Charm
Located near Sedona’s uptown area, Snoopy Rock has become a favorite among both tourists and locals who enjoy spotting its familiar outline from various viewpoints. When the sunlight hits the red cliffs just right, Snoopy’s profile appears especially vivid against the deep blue Arizona sky.
The formation has gained popularity on social media, where countless travelers have shared photos and videos highlighting its uncanny resemblance to the cartoon beagle. It’s a lighthearted reminder of Sedona’s quirky side — a town already famous for its red rocks, vortex hikes, and vibrant arts scene.
Where to See Snoopy Rock
The best view of Snoopy Rock can be found from State Route 89A near downtown Sedona or from Marg’s Draw Trailhead, where the entire shape of the “sleeping Snoopy” becomes visible. Many visitors also catch a glimpse from Sedona’s Main Street or nearby Jordan Road, making it one of the easiest landmarks to spot without a strenuous hike.
A Fun Symbol of Sedona’s Creativity
Sedona residents often say Snoopy Rock reflects the city’s playful and imaginative spirit. The formation serves as a natural tribute to the timeless Peanuts characters that continue to bring joy to generations.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Snoopy or just love nature’s sense of humor, this Arizona gem is worth seeing in person — and maybe snapping a photo to share with your own “Woodstock.”
