Arizona Trip

We've got some Airline $$ that we need to use prior to it expiring in February, so we're looking at taking a trip to Arizona in December. We're open to Tucson, Phoenix/Scottsdale, or Sedona/Flagstaff. It'd be 3 couples in their late 20s, no kids. We'd like a good mix of outdoor activities and things to do each day but also a solid nightlife. Don't know anything about the area so looking for any rec.'s/advice
TIA

Sedona easy. Place you’ll remember forever with the beautiful country and plenty of outdoor activities to keep you occupied. PM me if you want specifics from recent trip we did.

Of you're looking for warm weather, Flagstaff is not the place to go in December.
Sedona is one of the most beautiful places in America.

Sedona is awesome, but not much of a nightlife there. Was there in June and most everything was shut down by 9.

Go to the Grand Canyon!! A little over 100 miles, pretty drive. Or take the train from Williams, Az.

Sedona for scenery. Scottsdale for warm weather.

Scottsdale is incredibly nice. They have access to really good hiking about 30-40 minutes away. We did the Flatirons when we went up for spring training, and it was awesome. Fairly difficult for flat landers like myself, but the view at the top was amazing and would definitely do it again.
Flatirons
The nightlife in Scottsdale is also incredible. They have a strip where they have tons of clubs and bars that are awesome and unlike anywhere I have really been before.

Our family summer vacation was an Arizona trip.
Flew into Phoenix. Stayed a few days in Scottsdale, drove to the Grand Canyon and stayed a couple of days, then drove to Sedona and stayed a few more days.
Really enjoyed all of it but we are definitely planning a return couples trip to Sedona.
Here is where we stayed....it was awesome.

How many days? Skip Flagstaff and GC. There may be snow. If more than 3 days, go up to Sedona and rent a couple of Jeeps for 24 hours. Spend the rest of the time in PHX/Scottsdale. If more than 5 days, take a day trip down to Tucson.

Looking at 5 days. After seeing the responses on here Probably split our time between Sedona and Scottsdale. Would a day trip to the Grand Canyon from Sedona be worth it/doable considering its December?
Posted on 10/29/19 at 11:44 am to icegator337
Just check the weather. The Grand Canyon is absolutely worth it and doable if the weather is clear. South Rim.

It's a solid 8 hrs of driving RT from the Phoenix area to the GC, so it's tough as a day trip. You cut your time at the GC short and spend all day driving. It's a nice drive, but I would do it all over again if I could. I recommend staying a night in Flagstaff at the very least. You can take a road trip to see Antelope Canyon and Horsehoe Bend to make the trip even better. There are a few vineyards in the Sedona area. Jeep tours, hiking, etc to fill your time. Too cold for the swimming holes unfortunately, but pretty country and lots of good hiking.

Absolutely, weather permitting. It is the quintessential place I've visited that the cliche "pictures don't do it justice" applies. It's about a 2 hour drive from Sedona.
If you do Sedona, definitely eat at Elote Cafe one night.

Splitting your trip Scottsdale and Sedona would be my recommendation. Scottsdale will hit the nightlife better than the rest of the state.
Sedona will take care of the outdoorsy part of your trip. The only downside of Sedona is less nightlife, but the days will make up for it.
If you want to split more heavily towards the outdoors, you could base out of Flagstaff. That enables a day trip to the Grand Canyon, gives you the in town stuff and puts you close to Sedona.

Could be a little out of the way depending on where you are going but I would strongly recommend Jerome, AZ. LINK
