Snowy Sedona



Sedona is known for breathtaking beauty which has inspired many artists to create. These films, books, and other works of art capture small pieces of the overall effect of the towering red rocks cradling desert life. Only some of those pieces are inspired by the winter in Sedona. The transformation effect of snow on the red rock can not be overstated. This special kind of winter wonderland also comes with other perks, such as fewer tourists and cheaper rates!
The average daytime winter weather is between 50 and 60 degrees. This might seem to be perfect weather or surprisingly cold depending on where you come from. Proper preparation is what will make the difference between a perfect vacation and a chilly one. Bring jackets, as well as a light waterproof raincoat just in case.

Most of Sedona’s extensive trail system remains open during the winter months. The Oak Creek trails, for example, are available year round as well as the Courthouse Loop. Since it is not the busy season, these highly popular trails should be much quieter. Tlaquepaque Arts Center hosts a Festival of Lights. Almost 6000 luminarias are lit every year in Tlaquepaque's courtyards and walkways. Specially luminarias to honor cancer survivors will also be available. Free cider and a visit from Santa makes this an excellent family friendly event.
If you are staying for more than a day or two, plan a side trip or two to check out more of what Northern Arizona has to offer. Head south in search of warmer weather or north to Flagstaff to immerse yourself in heavy snow.

The staff at the Southwest Inn at Sedona also has plenty of suggestions for things to do during your stay. The hotel is perfectly located for quick access to all events and proximity to the freeway makes day trips easy and hassle-free. Don’t be fooled by the term “off-season.” Nothing in Sedona turns off for the winter except the heat!
