I'd take all three.
A lot would depend on how wide you need to go for some shots, as well as how far some subjects may be from you.
Lens selection is basically dependent on what your likes are, and how you like to compose,
along with what the area may be like, close quarters or open.
In an unknown situation one may want to take very wide, normal(ish), and very telephoto.

If you can walk, take day hikes into the canyons - Boynton Canyon, West Branch, etc. There are a number of guides available. The Pink Jeep Tour is supposed to be really good - I haven't taken it. All very beautiful.

Not knowing what you like, or will be shooting, it is always difficult to recommend which lenses to carry. I am a firm advocate of taking more than less (when space and mode of transportation allow) so as to not miss any photo opportunities.
I've been to Sedona twice and the 55-250 will probably get the greatest use followed by the 18-55 for flowers, rocks, etc.
There are different colored tours available with Pink Jeeps the biggest and most popular. You certainly should look into it but if you want a once-in-a-lifetime trip, try the Red Jeep off trail tour (as in up the rockface!) Along with your stomach ending up in your mouth you will get fantastic shots of the mountains, valleys, and rock formations for which the 55-250 would be perfect.
If you have a car, and time, a day trip to Jerome would be fun and good photo op. It is an old hill top mining town about 30 minutes from Sedona and has becoming an artsy village with great history and very old buildings. It also has some very good restaurants (Grapes) and shops.
Enjoy!

A must see is the Crescent Moon park, a beautiful place to photograph. And if you want more, take a walk to the beautiful running creek few feet away for a much better view of the beautiful rock, wading shoes required. This is a very famous place for wedding photo shoots.
I just bring the 18-55 for Sedona. Unless you hike the Boynton trail, the widest lens will help as well.

I purchased the new Nikon Z6 and took the 24-70s f4 and 35s 1.8 that I purchased.
We did not do a Jeep tour and found the 24-70 was sufficient and we primarily used the 35mm prime for our shots of each other with the red rocks in the background.
One of the concerns I had in taking other lenses was that the Mirrorless sensors are known for collecting dust in the changing of the lenses, not sure if that is an issue for you, remember on a very bright day using shots of F8 or greater enhance the issue of seeing spots and it can be bright out there, I used high shutter speeds.
As a side note I purchased the new 14-30s after I returned, never had an ultra wide before and am still trying to get used to the odd perspective that it can produce at times. Yes LR can adjust but the cropping can be an issue, learning curve issue.
Will take it on the next trip.

It’s very dusty. Bring supplies to clean the sensor. Change lenses as little as possible. I have been there several times.

No. Just be ready for a crowd. Go to the ranger station and get a pass. You'll be glad you did.

I took the Pink Jeep Tour and I definitely recommend it. We got into places I did not think it could go and got some good shots that day.

From Pix a friend took of the area a few years ago I say all three. I know he had a 18-55mm (Nikon DX / APS-C) Zoom at the time.
