Boynton Canyon was a great hike. We started early (around 9:00)...highly recommended as it is a very popular trail. We had the trail to ourselves going up, but on the way back we started running into a lot of people. more

This hike is not the best in Sedona. We expected the resort along side the first third of the hike but we weren't expecting it to take 3.5 hours. From what we read on line and in a Sedona hiking book it was supposed to take 2 - 2.5 hours. We wouldn't have minded the extra time but the hike... more

We didn't have enough time for the long Boynton trail so we opted for the Vista Trail. WOW! It was one of our favorites. It's very short and pretty steep going up, but once your up there it's an amazing view and you can climb up onto the rocks. It was the only time I saw an "end of trail"... more

The beginning of the hike isn't that exciting, as you're walking past a big resort complex, but its definitely worth it to make it to the end!! You go through several different terrains - from desert, through a forest (it was raining when we were there, so we felt like we were in a rain forest), to the top of... more

Like many others, we decided to go on an "easy" scenic hike, as we are weekday desk dwellers who are not in Olympic shape. As others have said, the trail is best after the Enchantment Resort. The last 15 minutes of the hike was definitely not easy, and the trail is definitely longer than 2.5 miles. I felt really sorry... more

We set out around 10 am on a Friday morning in October. I really like the terrain/scenery change along the way. The areas along red rocks portion really heated up but when we entered the forest, it cooled down drastically, so I would suggest dressing in layers. There is a healthy scramble at the very end to get up above... more

The first mile or so skirts a resort development and is not very interesting. Once past the resort, the canyon bottom is lush and very pleasant. The trail had some traffic, even at 9am in early October. We had to catch a plane so we turned around before we got to the climb. The side trip up to the ruin... more

At the end of Feb my sis and I hiked this trial one morning. It was a bit cool for a morning hike but would be perfect for an afternoon hike. Unfortunately we missed the ruins but did make it to the end to climb up on the rock ledge and have a wonderful view of the canyon. The terrain... more

Even if you are not a hiker this easy mostly level trail will thrill you with some of the most breathtaking scenery in the red rock area. I won't bother to explain the hike because it is available in great detail on many websites. If you are adventurous and don't mind putting in a little effort, you can scramble up... more
