Wife and I are taking a 3 week trip in October. In 2006 we took my kids and used this site to help most of the planning for that 4 week trip of a lifetime. Before spending 6 days at the Balloon festival in Albuquerque, we will spend a few days in Sedona/Cottonwood area and 3 days in Grand Canyon. Had my Balloon Festival reservations for months. Got the GC reservations today. Tried to get Rancho Sedona reservations and they didn't have any for the 4 nights I wanted.
1. What other recommendations for a campsite in the Sedona area?
2. Will have one night between my GC site and the Balloon site. Want to make up some of the distance so we can be at the Balloon Fest by set up time. Any suggestions for a site between GC and Alburquerque with some good things to do that evening?
34' TT. Love to hike, bike, sunrises, sunsets, do like occasional antique shopping.
Thanks all for any help
Just throwing out an alternative itinerary - Monument Valley - Canyon de Chelly - Possibly San Juan's for the Aspen, turning to Gold (usually the last 10 days of September) - then heading to The Balloon Fest.
Sedona and the Grand Canyon are both in CROWD Season, not saying my options would be crowd free but at least there is a chance.

All of the above, might just give you more memories, along with Great Sunrises and Sunsets, Quieter Hikes, and areas to ride your Bikes, as he weather will be Perfect!
Just a thought,
