best area for February visit for warm weather?

Thanks. We’d be hiking and hot tub, so that would be fine.

We live in DC area. We usually go on a cruise, Carib., or to FL for Feb warm weather getaway. Considering West Coast for for 2-3 weeks in 2022. We're Open to S. Cal, AZ, etc. Is Sedona warm enough for outdoors hiking, etc.? Is Palm Springs better? Or, should we just stick with Florida/Carib?

Sedona could be a good February/March choice. Wildcard of course the weather which is unpredictable. But Winter tends to be pleasant and we got out on the trails Jan thru Feb this past year. We did have some cloudy days as fronts moved in from Pacific NW but all in all a decent month. Main idea is even a 48-58F day can be a cozy hike if the sun is out as your only limitation is shorter Winter daylight.

Lots of time between now and 2022. If you do ponder Sedona , PM me as we live here & could answer any questions.( year number 4 and loving every minute here year round).

The only US state that is warm in February is Hawaii. The Carribean is also warm then (it's their "high season"). Key West is a possibility.

I live in southwest Florida and it is usually warm in February,

The chances are good that you'd have nice weather in Sedona. We went last year over President's Day and they had record cold and snow -- but the averages are pretty nice. Most of the time during the day we were quite comfortable with just long sleeved shirts.

We really liked Sedona that time of year even though the weather was much worse than what we expected.

I live in Alabama and there are plenty of warm days in February, especially on the coast. In fact, it is one of our secondary tornado seasons because of the warm air masses that move in and collide with the cold air.

We love Yellowstone in the winter. You can do the snowmobile, snow coach to get in and then once in can snowshoe or cross-country ski. Lodging is available at old faithful (not the inn but cabins and snow lodge),

Jackson hole is another timeshare location...I think you can only take the snowcoach from the south

We loved Palm Desert. It is a wonderful spot to visit. February is a good time to go but like mentioned above if its raining, well, not so good. We really preferred Palm Desert over Palm Springs, but it's just a matter of choice. Both are beautiful. Marriott Palm Desert Villas1 was where we stayed and without a doubt it was one of the best vacations we ever had.

Southern Florida, Scottsdale AZ, Southern CA and of course Hawaii

Sedona will be cooler than Phoenix or Palm Springs. Average temps for Sedona in February are highs in the mid 60s and lows in the mid 30s.

True! So, maybe not the warm temps the OP is seeking. We can have rain and cool temps in Phx in Feb, but generally, it's so lovely that there is no reason to run up the road to the Red Rocks.

The high for the day may be only for about one hour at maybe three or four in the afternoon. We found thaT out many times as we were searching for a retirement location.
