The Best Time to Visit Sedona



If you are beginning to plan your Sedona vacation, one of the most important things to consider is the weather. The different seasons offer their own risks and rewards, such as heat, accessibility, and events. Sedona has year round weather that can please winter lovers and summer lovers alike.

Those who love the heat should consider visiting Sedona in between March and May. Nature is in full bloom and the weather is warm without being unbearable. The temperatures around this time average between high 60s and low 80s. Later on in the year, as spring turns to full summer, the heat will crank up. The record high in Sedona is 110 degrees. That kind of heat makes a dip in our community pool sound amazing, but most outdoor activities such as hiking or biking become dangerous at those temperatures. If you’re planning on spending most of your vacation enjoying our beautiful trail system, you are best off visiting us in the summer or fall.

The fall in Sedona is characterized by the changing trees of Oak Creek Canyon. The gorgeous colors make the trails even more spectacular. If hiking isn’t something for you, there are also roads you can drive down to see reds and golds of fall. Monsoon season usually ends before September and thanks to these amazing waves of water, the summer heat is gone too.

While Sedona doesn’t get enough snow to be considered for most winter sports, the light dusting that we normally expect transforms the red rocks into a winter wonderland. Transportation is trickier and some of the trails are no longer accessible for the winter months. A winter visit to Sedona would allow to check out all of the amazing holiday events hosted by the Tlaquepaque Arts Center.

No matter when you go, you are guaranteed to find plenty of things to do during your visit to Sedona. Our plentiful dining and shopping options are available year round. We have tons of suggestions on what to do at the front desk of the Southwest Inn. Staff can recommend a favorite steak house,or family friendly restaurant as well as trails, events, and stores. The Southwest Inn is in a great location to give you access the best that Sedona has to offer.
