Sedona, Arizona
Coconino National Forest - Boynton Canyon

If you love to hike, you'll probably want to devote at least one full day to the red rock trails in and around Sedona. I suggest starting on one of the most popular trails, Boynton Canyon.

You can find the Boynton Canyon Trailhead at the end of Forest Road 152-C (also known as Dry Creek Road, in downtown West Sedona). The trail is popular because it's easy to find, and the road is paved all the way to the trailhead.

After traveling just a few hundred feet down the Boynton Canyon Trail, a side path splits off. The Vista Trail is a worthwhile detour, taking you up to a scenic viewpoint, right next to one of Sedona's legendary vortexes.

This red rock formation is known as Kachina Woman. While it's a prominent landmark, the Boynton Vortex is a short distance away, at a nearby knoll.

I made another, more extensive visit to Sedona in 2007, spending several days there, and hiking quite a few trails.  You can jump to my 2007 visit here.
