Red Rock Balloons holds the only Coconino National Forest permit to fly directly over Sedona red-rock country — sunrise launches off Dry Creek Road, 3 to 4 hours from launch to brunch landing. The bridesmaids book the 5 AM hotel pickup, an hour aloft over Boynton Canyon and Long Canyon as the cliffs go vermillion, and a champagne brunch on landing. Day two is a Cathedral Rock vortex hike, an afternoon at Mii amo for a body wrap, and a tasting menu at Cress on Oak Creek. Decompression: a final morning at L'Auberge before the PHX shuttle.
Five quick questions, then we build the full itinerary — lodging, daily schedule, dining, bars, the group-chat message — and drop you into a Trip Room you can share with the bridesmaids.
