Hey Linda! Not definite on all of the itinerary for SWS but warm days (80ish) and cool nights (high 50's) is a good bet for packing clothes, at least for Sedona and GC. I know you have the Italian leather gloves in many colors for your trip! We love Sedona and the nearby parks for hiking. Have a great time!

We did Southwest Splendors 10-10 thru 10-17-09. It was COLD at the Grand Canyon. I had a fleece jacket, but could of used some gloves. And, no, they didn't sell them in the gift shop. Make sure you pack some gloves. But it was up into the 80's when we hiked in Arches, so your best bet is to layer.

Yeah, layers are good... the temperature can swing dramatically.

We went last year the same time you are going and Sedona was hot (shorts and tee shirts, night sweatshirt), Grand Canyon started out hot until a wind storm came and then it got COLD with the wind, (shorts and tees, then shorts with sweatshirt or jeans). Needed a good windbreaker jacket. I had gloves on in momument valley. Moab was better, not hot not cool but, just comfortable in the day and the nights were cool, (shorts and tees, pants at night and a sweatshirt). Layers for Arches, start with shorts and sweatshirt then shorts and tee. Water for rafting was cold, but you do not get that wet. Your feet are in the water so you adjust pretty quickly. You'll have a wonderful time. I hope you have Tiffany and Geraldine as your guides.

Thanks for all the tips. Looks like we need a variety of clothes and should be prepared for anything!
