Sedona

On another thread, Sedona AZ is mentioned as a difficult place to go. This tends to happen each time there is a thread about flying in the Western US.

Why?

I've been there three times, all in June, including once at night, landing on both 03 and 21, and found nothing particularly unusual about the approach or fitting in a circuit. There are no obstructions. The runway is way more than long enough for a PA28 even at AZ temperatures. Its high but, like I say, the runway is plenty long enough. I don't remember any updrafts or windshear. It wasn't even particularly busy. I was at about 75hrs total time at that point.

The only difficult thing I found was ignoring the view long enough to concentrate

This is a straight question; I'm not bragging about my exceptional flying abilities I really just want to know what it is that makes Sedona difficult because I think I must be missing something.
