Field notes
Fly to PHX or FLG
Phoenix (PHX) is a 2-hour drive south. Flagstaff (FLG) is a 40-minute drive north via Highway 89A. Having a rental car is essential, as the resort is tucked 20 minutes away from downtown Sedona.
Trail House & Spa bookings
Visit the Trail House on day one to speak with guides and plan your hikes. Because you stay at Enchantment, you can book spa treatments at the famous Mii amo spa, but spaces are limited — reserve them at least 30 days prior to arrival.
No Cell Signal & Pricing
Boynton Canyon is a cell phone dead zone (resort Wi-Fi is reliable but spotty on the trails). Also note that daily resort fees (~$73/night) are added to the rate, and some older casitas can feel a bit dated compared to the newer suites.
