Beautiful landscape in Sedona illustrates why spring and fall offer the best time to visit Sedona

When You Should Visit Red Rock Country?

Emily Wachsman January 11, 2024 Comments Off

Many guests ask us when is the best time to visit Sedona, and the simple answer is whenever you can get here. There’s truly no “bad” time to visit Sedona, as it’s a pretty wonderful destination year-round. Though it does get hot in the summer, Sedona’s higher elevation keeps us cooler than cities like Phoenix, for example. In winter, you’ll find cool temperatures (and even sometimes snow), but there are still plenty of reasons to visit then (no crowds!).

Even though we’d never discourage you from visiting Sedona, it’s undeniable that the best time to visit Sedona is in the spring or fall. Both seasons are busier but full of color, and the temperatures are mild and perfect for outdoor adventures like hiking and biking. Spring brings with it wonderful wildflower blooms and by October and November, Sedona is bursting with fall color which makes for a lovely contrast with the already-striking red rocks.

Finding the best time to visit Sedona also depends on what you’d like to do once you’re here. Whatever it is you decide on, though, make sure to include reservations at our #1-rated Sedona Bed and Breakfast. Book your room today! Continue reading

Fall is considered by many to be the best time to visit Sedona, so if you plan to join us for some fun this fall and are looking for an unforgettable adventure, consider scheduling a hot air balloon ride in Sedona. A hot air balloon ride in Sedona is a spectacular way to take in the jaw-dropping red rock landscape of scenic northern Arizona – this time from an entirely new perspective.

Most people spend their fall hiking around the red rocks – including popular spots like Devils Bridge, the Brins Mesa Trail, and the West Fork Oak Creek Trail – and it’s easy to see why. Fall hiking in Sedona is gorgeous, and the weather is mild enough and the crowds few enough to make it far more enjoyable than at other times. As beautiful as fall hikes in Sedona are, though, it comes nowhere close to matching the spectacle of a hot air balloon ride in Sedona.
