Sedona Arizona 4500 feet above sea level
Boynton Canyon is one of Sedona’s top hikes. This is a relatively easy hike, as you walk on a mostly flat trail that is sheltered from the sun. The trail ends at the back of the canyon, where a short climb takes you up to a viewpoint, offering sweeping views of Boynton Canyon. Along the trail, there are two detours you can take, to make this hike even more memorable. Near the start of the hike, take the short detour on the Boynton Vista Trail for stunning views over the Enchantment Resort and the red rocks of Sedona. There is also a cave and Sinagua ruins you can visit. This cave, often referred to as the Subway Cave or the Boynton cave, frequently shows up on hiking websites (on All Trails this is the 2nd most popular hike in Sedona at the time that I am writing this) and it is also listed on Trip Advisor. Most of the people we met on the Boynton Canyon trail were hiking this trail with the sole purpose of visiting the Subway Cave. Hopefully, with our trail description and photos, we can point you in the right direction, to prevent damage to the area by keeping you on the correct trail. Please respect this area, by staying on the trail, leaving artifacts and ruins as you found them, and practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace. Boynton Canyon is also the location of one of the four major Sedona vortexes. I read conflicting information about the exact location of this vortex. Vortex Hunters state the vortex is located on the Boynton Vista Trail. Jamie Elder, author of Sedona’s Best Vortex Guidebook, states that many vortexes are located throughout Boynton Canyon. She states that you could spend an entire day exploring offshoots from the main trail to experience these vortexes.
