"Sited less than a mile from the red‑rock canyons of Boynton Pass, this Sedona property leans into the region’s landscape and culture with a well-equipped Trail House that launches hiking, mountain biking, and archaeological tours; a Trail House–based kids program (Camp Coyote) adapts activities for ages 4–12 with offerings such as identifying mystery tracks and geocaching; and nighttime programming includes stargazing sessions with the resort’s expert astronomer. Accessible rooms are available; starting rates are from about $854 per night, with summer days potentially reaching high 90s." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
