• High Seasons: March to May and September to November

• No matter what season catches your eye, here's what you need to know about the weather, prices, and local sights when planning a trip to Sedona.

   

  Most Popular Time to Visit Sedona

  Sedona's most popular seasons are spring and fall. Crowds flock to the Southwestern city between March and May and from September to November for beautiful temperatures perfect for outdoor exploration. The spring is prime time to see wildflowers (whether on a hike or via the Verde Canyon Railroad's Spring in Bloom train), and both seasons offer great chances to take a Jeep tour through the canyons, walk through the picturesque center of town, or sit and watch a magical desert sunset.

   

  Be warned, though: Things get very busy during these peak times, especially in the spring. So if you plan on visiting during the high seasons, it's best to book your accommodations and activities as early as possible.
