Sedona from Austin, Nov 14–21: $1,234 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Cowboy Hideout scores 9.6 from 19 reviews, with free cancellation
- Highs of 55–66°F, mild hiking weather for Cathedral Rock
- $165 per person round trip, within $1 of the typical $164
The catch: One stop each way, 12h 28m of travel round trip, a 12:42 AM arrival in Phoenix, and checked bags run about $240 for two.
Worth it if you want a week of red-rock hiking and quiet nights; skip it if a late, one-stop flight wears you out.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day: $1,234 for two covers the flights at $330 plus 7 nights at Cowboy Hideout at $904, taxes and fees included, with checked bags and spending money extra. The trip runs Saturday, Nov 14 to Saturday, Nov 21, 2026. Frontier (F9) flies Austin to Phoenix with one stop each way, 12h 28m of total travel time round trip, and Sedona is two hours north of Phoenix.

Why now
At $1,234 for two, all in, this is a full week in Sedona for the flights plus the hotel, taxes and fees included; checked bags, resort fees and spending money are extra. The fare is $165 per person, $1 above the $164 median of our 5 earlier checks on this route, and the lowest recent check was $145, so it's a fair price rather than a drop. November is peak season, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, which makes a $129-a-night apartment with a 9.6 score stand out. Expect highs of 55–66°F and lows near 39°F, good for long trail days and cool evenings under dark skies. It suits a slow week outdoors more than a quick weekend.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature and wellness week: red-rock trails in the morning, a slow lunch, maybe a spa hour, then dark skies at night. It suits couples and friends who like to walk a lot and turn in early more than travelers chasing nightlife. With 7 nights, the pace can stay easy, mixing a big hike with lazy days in between.
