Would be hard as there are a couple small scrambles, climbs to get to the top of the trail. Might be sketchy for the youngsters.

4 year old could probably handle it. It’d be a lot for an 18 month old.

Lots of good recs. The drive up Oak Creek toward Flagstaff is a great way to spend a few hours.

Also in on Arabella and Hyatt Piñon Pointe. Both were fantastic.
Sedona is expensive. Lodging, food, etc. You’re going to spend more than what you think you should.
Do a spa day at Sedona New Day Spa. Not cheap, but definitely worth the price.

Just seeing this thread. We are going next week. I was too late to get reservations at Elote & Mariposa. Any other recs that may still have availability or does not take reservations???

Oak Creek West Fork Trail
This is a great one for kids as well as adults. It’s what was recommended as a favorite of every local that we asked.
There are a couple creek crossings, hardly any elevation change, and it’s an out an back so you can stop and turn around whenever you get tired.

Hideaway House has good Italian, great views and we walked up and sat at the bar. Most things you can get reservations day off especially for small groups, except for the couple mentioned.

Yeah, the West Fork is a really good trail. It gets much more shade than the exposed trails so in the winter it can be much colder, and you will even see ice on the creek and icicle waterfalls. Have done it all seasons and never fails to disappoint.
Boynton Canyon is a good one in the winter because it is pretty exposed, but the canyon at the end of the hike is worth it.
AB Young to the East Pocket Lookout tower (or "end of the world") is an awesome trail but climby with lots of switchbacks.
*OP if you hit the West Fork trail, FYI you'll pay an extra 10 bucks to park even if you have the Red Rocks pass (which you need to park anywhere along 89A).

The drive along 89A up the valley to Flagstaff is fantastic and highly recommend.
One of my favorite drives I've ever been on. Its incredible.
I'll also echo the West Fork recs. Loved that trail.

Just went 12/15-12/19 with the wife and 7 month old and wish we would have stayed longer! Rented an air bnb in West Sedona that had an amazing view of Thunder Mtn.
Flew in to PHX on Wednesday afternoon and hustled to our rental to get to Elote Cafe. Food was amazing, street corn was top knotch.
Thursday we did the Baldwin Trail which gives a very good look of Cathedral Rock. After that we headed to Chapel of the Holy Cross. Had dinner at Mariposa at sunset which was very good.
Friday we did Devil's Bridge, which wasnt too bad with the little one hooked to my chest. A little of a climb, but it is more like stairs in my opinion once you get close to the top. Hit up sedona beer co. then to Lisa Pisa, which we had little expectations for and it exceeded them!
Saturday we walked through Tlaquepaque for their Sweet Christmas Stroll and it was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and themes and went to Winery 1912 as well. We stayed in PHX Saturday night to catch an early flight sunday.
