Sedona Valentine's Day

February in Sedona brings the start of baseball for Rock High School. It also brings the bloom of the early Spring flowering trees. Although some of the flowering Spring bulbs arrive in late January, most of the daffodils bloom this month.

Our averge daytime temperatures are in the low 60's mid February and because of the abundant amounts of sunshine, visitors to Sedona enjoy many outdoor activities including golf, hiking and horseback riding. There's also a large variety of shopping in the many shops and galleries.

Visitors are often surprised when they pack for "Florida" weather for a trip to Sedona for Valentine's Day. Locals say that "Sedona enjoys a Green Christmas and a White Easter". It's not unusual to enjoy a short sleeve day in February or a mild snow. We don't know anyone who owns a snow shovel since most of the snow that falls by noon has melted by the end of the day.

Sedona is in the "high desert" with an elevation of 4500ft above sea level. This means that on clear nights, we get significant cooling. Night time temperatures are normally in the low 40's in mid February. However, many restaurants with heated garden patios will serve guests outdoors in the evenings, and can be very comfortable.

Flagstaff, a short drive from Sedona, is home to one of Arizona's two popular ski areas. The Arizona Snowbowl ski resort is popular with residents from Northern Arizona, as well as many of the residents in the Phoenix area. Many visitors are surprised to find out that the ski area is located on slopes of a dormant volcano that's over 12,500 ft in elevation. Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon to the west of Flagstaff get true 4-season weather. Although the last few winters have been dry, Flagstaff historically receives more snow annually than Buffalo New York, making it one of the top ten snowiest cities in the US!

February in Sedona is also the start of the Spring bridal season. Between February and June, hundreds of couples come to Sedona for their weddings. Valentine's Day weddings are very popular in Sedona. Because of our reputation as being the Sedona's Wedding Day Spa, Fango is a popular choice for a bride's wedding day preparations for hair, make-up, facials and even a massage for those nervous brides. Many of our brides and their attendants make a day of it with some coming in the day before for spa services to celebrate the time together.

But most of all, we find that February is a rommance month in Sedona. In addition to the many weddings, it's a popular time for couples to getaway for a romanitc time alone. With an abundance of resorts and B&B lodgings, Sedona is a great place to relax and renew. At Fango, we find that many couples enjoy their time by making a day of it at the spa with his & her services including our Fango Tango Couple's Massage -- remember, it takes two to tango!
