towns of 10,000 people, you\u2019re not likely to be bored in Sedona, Arizona. In fact, you\u2019ll have the opposite problem. There are literally so many fun things to do that you\u2019ll have a hard time seeing everything in even a week! It\u2019s no surprise that so many of the people that visit Sedona come back for their 2nd, 3rd, or even 10th time! There\u2019s something special about Sedona and it\u2019s for everyone regardless of your age, interests, or abilities. Here at the Verde Canyon Railroad, we love this area so much we want to make sure you know about the good stuff and, of course, that you come back and see us at different times of the year to experience the varied landscape and special events we offer exclusive access to. Below is a list of guides we\u2019ve built out to help you choose the best things to do in Sedona regardless of the time of the year, weather, or the size of your group.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"turq\">In the Winter<\/h2>\n<p>Despite being so far south, you may surprised to learn that Sedona actually does get snow from time to time. Don\u2019t worry, though, it\u2019s usually just a light dusting, and it typically doesn\u2019t stick around for very long. While July highs may reach 100 degrees, their January equivalent may only be in the 50s. If you\u2019ve got a trip planned during this part of the year, you\u2019ll want to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/verdecanyonrr.com\/sedona-area\/things-to-do-in-sedona-during-the-winter\/\">this page. <\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"turq\">In the Summer<\/h2>\n<p>You may think that summer is the worst time to visit Arizona, but Sedona\u2019s Verde Valley isn\u2019t like the rest of our hot dry state. At 4500-foot elevation, the climate is still temperate enough to attract folks from much hotter Phoenix and groups from all over the world.
