Why go now
$446 per person round trip, $892 for two, is $239 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 35% gap across the 12 offers we checked. Prices are all-in with taxes and fees as found, and they can move. Late October is Sedona's peak season, with the mildest hiking weather and the highest rates, so a fare at the low end of what we saw counts. The forecast calls for clear skies, highs of 66–72°F, lows of 45–48°F and a 2–6% chance of rain: trail weather by day, cool nights for stargazing. The heads-up: this Frontier itinerary leaves Grand Rapids at 6:19 PM Friday and lands in Phoenix at 8:42 PM Saturday, 29h 23m with one stop. If you want Friday on the red rocks, Delta and Southwest had one-stop flights at $665 per person.
The kind of trip this is
A nature-and-wellness getaway in the desert: red-rock hikes in the morning, a spa or a slow lunch in the afternoon, dark skies at night. It suits couples and pairs of friends who like being outside and don't mind an early start on the trail. The pace is easy once you're there, though a short stay rewards picking two or three things and doing them well.
