Travel & stay
Flights, lodging, trail time, and a few easy ways to make a long weekend out of the red rocks.
Start here
Sedona is easiest when you give yourself room between airport arrivals, hotel check-in, and weekend events. The wedding weekend centers on Sky Ranch Lodge, with most restaurants, trailheads, galleries, and scenic stops within a short drive.
Flights
Phoenix Sky Harbor is the easiest major airport for most guests, with a scenic drive north that is usually just under two hours. Flagstaff Pulliam is closer and smaller, but flight options may be more limited.
Phoenix Sky HarborVenue stay
The wedding is at Sky Ranch Lodge on Airport Mesa. The lodge lists 94 rooms, on-site amenities, and the address 1105 Airport Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336. We recommend booking early if you want to stay close to the ceremony, and mentioning that you're with the Christensen & Frey wedding when you book.
Sky Ranch LodgeAround town
A rental car is the simplest choice for the full weekend. Sedona Shuttle can help with popular trailheads and local on-demand rides when service is running, so check current routes and hours before planning hikes.
