Why now
Here are the numbers: $470 per person round trip, $940 for two, all-in when we checked. That's $87 above the $383 median of our earlier checks on this route, so this isn't a markdown. Of the trips we priced for that weekend, Sedona still came out on top for value. October is peak season in Sedona, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, and you'll see that in the room prices. The forecast looks good: clear skies Friday and Saturday, highs from 66°F to 74°F, lows from 42°F and a rain chance of 6% or less. That's good weather for the trail up Cathedral Rock, and the cool nights are good for stargazing. Prices move, so if you're keen on these dates, check the live fare soon.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature-and-wellness getaway: red-rock hikes in the morning, a slow afternoon and a dark sky at night. It works best for a couple who want something romantic, or for active friends who'd rather be on a trail than at a bar. The pace is relaxed but outdoorsy. Plan on early starts for the trailheads and quiet evenings, with plenty of time just looking at the buttes.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
We found $470 per person round trip, or $940 for two, on Frontier with 1 stop. That price is all-in, including taxes and fees, as of when we checked. It's $87 above the $383 median of our earlier checks on this route, and it can change.
Is there a nonstop option?
Yes. We found American nonstop at $681 per person, or $1,362 for two. It leaves at 7:00 AM, lands at 9:09 AM and takes 4h 9m, so you get most of Friday in Arizona.
What is the weather like?
The forecast shows Friday clear with a high of 66°F and Saturday clear with a high of 74°F. Sunday looks overcast with a high of 69°F. Lows run from 42°F to 52°F, and the chance of rain stays between 2% and 6%.
Which airport do I fly into?
The fares we found land at Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), about two hours south of Sedona. Flagstaff Pulliam (FLG) is the other airport nearby.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for a long weekend if you plan around the timing. The Frontier flight lands at 7:46 PM Friday, so Saturday is your full day for a hike and a jeep tour. Leave time on Sunday for the drive back to Phoenix.
Can I cancel the hotel?
All three hotels we found offer free cancellation and are room only. Cedars Resort is $613 for the 2 nights, Hilton Vacation Club Ridge on Sedona is $664, and Sky Ranch Lodge is $1,276.
