Hi Dom,
Well, now your finally hearing from Sedona, huh Jim Hergert hear. And all
the folks are right it is beautiful here and Xmas time is no different. I
regularly fly form AZ. to CA. about that time and never go IMC even if I have to
wait a day or so. Not sure if your flying your own airplane? but the closest
airlines are out of Phoenix, AZ. about 1:45 south driving. However, I have had
lots of visitors and I'm getting very good at giving rides over the Grand
Canyon, and around the Red Rocks or Meteor Crater. I also have a large hangar
with a loaner Van and lots of Wine, (Cal, Australian, and yes Sedona's) food and
laugh's for old retired folks.
Maybe this will entice you to come to Sedona?

You can’t beat the
South West USA in the winter. Sure you may have to wait a day
or two for some weather but when it clears the landscape is nothing short of
spectacular. I am sure others will agree, especially those
living in Sedona, Arizona (huh Jim Hergert?) You could certainly use
Las
Vegas, or Phoenix as a base and then take day trips from their or just
make your way around on one way legs. (I am assuming you will
be flying your own airplane?).
If you need help
with an itinerary just ask. Before long you may spend the
entire winter here.
Good luck

VFR flying and sightseeing are likely to be better in
the southwest,
rather than the northwest. Rain and overcast is probable
anywhere north
of San Francisco near the coast. Like many, I would recommend
Sedona.
There's some good mountain biking and trails all around town.
There's
even a trail that goes around the airport, below the rim of the
mesa.
The Mojave desert, including Death Valley (National Park)
or
Anza-Borrego (California State Park) can also be spectacular
in the
winter. Best wildflower viewing is a few months later
than your visit, around
March. Both have decent airports.
also... Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon,
Meteor Crater, Painted Desert,
Monument Valley, Bryce Zion...Las Vegas if
you're into that sort of thing.

LML land has any suggestion to fill in

sightseeing in the US without actually going as

(going to Canada and the West Coast next month).
