Is Sedona Expensive to Visit? What I spent in 3 days in Sedona, Arizona
Is Sedona expensive to visit? As with most destinations a trip to Sedona can be as affordable or as expensive as you choose. When I was doing my Sedona trip planning I found hotels and rental cars to be on the pricier side, but since I planned to do a lot of hiking, my activities were on the more affordable side.
