Exploring Sedona for Ancient Ruins
Exploring Sedona for Ancient Ruins
Alright, I will start by saying I am often torn when I make a video on a place. I want to share, but I do not want an area overrun and overwhelmed. I found this location through online research, basically by stumbling across a picture similar to my thumbnail.....It looked interesting, so I kept digging until I figured out where it was. And then I headed out.
And couldn't find it. But in all honesty, I wasn't looking very hard the first time.
This is round two. I went expecting a very well defined and well used trail to a well known ruins site.
That's not what we found. Instead, it was a difficult search involving mistakes, backtracking and trail and error to find a well hidden, lightly traveled and well preserved ruins site.
So I apologize, but I don't want to be the one who spoils this area.
That said, I am not an expert. These are not extremely remote and unknown ruins. This video gives you as much to go on as I had when i found them.
So best of luck if you decide to hunt this incredible area down yourself. Hopefully, by not disclosing step by step directions, it will be empty when you get there, just like it was for us.

It's been over a year since Angie and I did this hike but it's still worth sharing...
Our final hike in Sedona was a special one; with the help of a local storeowner in town we were able to find an amazing backcountry campsite that was isolated far from town and overlooking a beautiful canyon. While researching for this hike I found some sources online that made me realize we would be passing by some ruins that were in very good shape so I added that into our plans too. The campsite lived up to its hype, we enjoyed the spectacular views there both in the evening and the morning before hiking back towards the Jeep. On the way back, Angie continued to the Jeep where we had camp already set up from the previous days and I left the trail to hike on over to the ruins, which ended up being one of the highlights of our entire roadtrip through the southwest.
This trail isn't hiked as frequently as most of the trails in Sedona, and even less people go up to the ruins. The entire time we were out there we didn't see another person hiking on the trail, this was especially good because there is really only space for one camp at the overlook we camped at. Maybe if I kept hiking further on when I reached the saddle while searching for my campsites maybe I could have found one up there but I can't say for sure.
Because of there aren't many good places to camp and the vulnerability of ancient ruins I decided not to name any locations or trailheads that we hiked to in this video. If you really want to do this hike you should be able to figure it out with some research, we were able to.

Exploring some ancient ruins in Sedona, AZ, USA
I made this video while exploring the ruins of the Anasazi Indians in the Boynton Canyon area of Sedona, AZ, USA. These ruins are at least 1000 years old and are very primitive but well-thought out and located, to keep from natural elements (rain, snow, cold, sun). The ancient people had no technology, but were able to hike and haul rocks to build whatever they needed.
Palatki Heritage Site, Sedona, Arizona
Palatki Heritage Site, near Sedona, Arizona, comprises the ruins of cliff dwellings built around 1150AD and a nearby petroglyph and pictograph site which range up to 6000 years old.

My FAVORITE hike in Sedona....But everyone misses the best part!
My FAVORITE hike in Sedona....But everyone misses the best part!
Ah, Sedona. If you watch this channel, you have seen a bunch of hikes around there. My Gaia looks like a spiderweb up there. We've been all over Sedona. But one of our first hikes remains my favorite: West Fork.
The West Fork starts at the Call of the Canyon Trailhead, just north of Sedona. It's popular. It's well known. Pretty much everyone who asks what they should hike in Sedona is unnundated with responses of West Fork/Call of the Canyon.
As such, it attracts crowds. Lots of crowds. If you think you're going to go hike West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon at noon, good luck. You're most likely going to be met with a full parking lot.
If you are lucky (or early) enough to get a parking spot, you'll probably go in a mile. Or three. Most people get to the 'end of trail' sign and call it a day.
That's unfortunate. Because JUST beyond the 'end of the maintained trail' sign is the best part. The canyon narrows up. Sure, you have to get your feet wet, but it's worth it. The crowds die off, and you get to experience the best parts of the cayon...usually with few, if any, people.
Oh...and you can backpack it. We backpack the West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon every year. Because we're lucky enough to have it close to home, and know it well. Which is even more special when you realize that people travel from all over the world to see this place. And it's our back yard.
So if you're in Sedona and looking for those secret places, this one is hidden right in front of you. One of the most popular places in the Red Rock Wilderness, with some of the most incredible, hidden secrets out there. West Fork/Call of the Canyon can't be beat. It's been our favorite hike in the area for years, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Oh....And I should mention....No. I won't tell you were our campsite is. Sorry, but not really sorry. We found it. You're going to have to do the same on your own. If you happen to stumble upon it, that's awesome. But if not, there are plenty of other great sites out there for you.

Boynton Canyon Trail and the Secret Subway Cave in Sedona, AZ
On our recent trip to Sedona, we made friends with a local on one of our hikes. During our conversations, Renanuel told us about his favorite hike in Sedona, which turns out to be the secret Subway cave that Dustin and I have been wanting to visit. With Renanuel’s directions, we were both excitedly headed to the trail the next day. The secret Subway Cave on Boynton Canyon Trail is such a beautiful place. Photos didn’t really prepare us for how magical this place really is. With respect to Renanuel, we won’t disclose its exact location, but we will give you a few tips for your research.

Ancient Cliff Dwellings - Long Version - at Palatki Heritage Site - near Sedona, Arizona
Ancient Cliff Dwellings - Long Version - at Palatki Heritage Site - near Sedona, Arizona
Let's start with a short walk on the path to the cliff overhang that contains pictographs and petroglyphs of the Sinagua Indians created from 1100 to 1400 AD. Some of the petroglyphs are much older, estimated to be 5,000 to 6,000 years old that came from more archaic cultures. After we listen to the very informative volunteer, we will walk over to a set of ruins belonging to the Sinagua, thought to be connected to the Hopi Indian Tribe. The word Palatki means 'red house' in the Hopi language. Remember, Sedona is in the center of Red Rock Country.
This sequence was shot with a Canon HFS-100 and edited in Adobe Premier CS5.

Honanki Ruins Sedona, AZ
This video shows the drive to Honanki Heritage Site (in SUV) and hike to the ruins.
Honanki and its sister site, Palatki, were the largest cliff dwellings of the Red Rock country between AD 1150 - 1350. The Sinagua, ancestors of the Hopi, lived here preparing meals, raising their families, and making tools from stone, leather, and wood. Nearby they hunted for deer and rabbit, tended various crops, and gathered edible wild plants (Source: USFS).
