Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sedona worth the trip?
Yes! Sedona is one of the most beautiful, relaxing, and adventurous destinations in the U.S.! Sedona is famous for its vortexes, swirling energy centers for healing, meditation, and self-exploration.
What is the best month to visit Sedona?
March – May is one of the best times to visit Sedona because the desert wildflowers will be in full bloom. Spring also has a low chance of rain, and temperatures should range from the mid-60s to the low 80s, perfect for hiking and outdoor activities.
September – November also has sunny skies and pleasant temperatures. Spring and Fall are the most popular times to visit Sedona, so prices and crowds will be at their peak. You’ll want to book tours and accommodation in advance, and you’ll want to arrive at the popular hikes early in the morning to find parking.
Winter is Sedona’s low season because tourists “snowbird” further south in Arizona. Temperatures average in the mid-50s, and a light snow dusting on the top of Sedona’s red rocks is possible. You can score some great accommodation deals from December – February (minus the holidays), and you can have many of the trails practically to yourself.
June – August is Sedona’s shoulder season, so hotel and vacation home prices will be lower than in the Spring and Summer. Tourist numbers will be down, but locals from Phoenix and Tucson escape the triple-digit temps of Southern Arizona. You’ll want to be returning to your car from a hike by 10 am and choose accommodation with a pool. This is also the monsoon season when Sedona gets most of its annual rainfall, so bring your rain gear.
Is Sedona a walkable city?
The historic main street in downtown Sedona is very walkable, but the rest of the city is spread out and requires a car.
Is Sedona or Flagstaff better?
Sedona and Flagstaff are both incredible destinations, and they will each give you very different experiences. So I highly recommend visiting both of these cities!
