Outbound Sedona
Outbound Sedona is a desert resort just off the Red Rock Scenic Byway, about 10 minutes south of central Sedona, and it isn't comfortably walkable, so most people fly into Phoenix and drive in. Reserved festival parking costs $160 for the weekend, and once you're on site a dedicated shuttle gets you between most classes and events, with Moonwater's pool bar and Lucida Desert Kitchen for food.
