Why go now
At $408 per person round trip, this fare sits right at the median of the 7 earlier checks we ran on this route. It isn't a markdown. It's a fair price for a weekend in peak season. October brings Sedona's mildest hiking weather and its highest rates, so a fare that hasn't climbed is worth a look. The forecast shows highs of 71°F to 73°F and lows of 50°F to 54°F. Rain chances are 25% on Friday and drop to 7% by Sunday. Our budget for two, with flights, the lodge and $760 for spending, comes to $1,872. That's a weekend of trails, scenery and dark skies, the kind of short getaway that feels longer than it is. Prices are all-in, with taxes and fees included, as found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
A nature-and-wellness long weekend in the desert: red-rock trails in the morning, a scenic drive or gallery stroll in the afternoon, dark skies at night. It suits couples most of all, and also a pair of friends who like to hike. Once you're there the pace is easy, but the Friday-night arrival and the drive up from Phoenix make day one short.
