The Boynton Canyon Vortex is a captivating 1.1 miles round-trip hike, making it one of the shortest and easiest trails in Sedona and ideal for beginners eager to connect with nature. This enchanting trail leads to a saddle nestled between two majestic red rock spires. The tallest, known as “Kachina Woman,” pays homage to the Yavapai-Apache people who hold Boynton Canyon and its surroundings sacred. Here, the vista reveals breathtaking views of the canyon, one of Sedona’s most stunning gems, and when the ground is blanketed in snow, the experience transforms into an even more extraordinary wonder.
One of the most popular Sedona hikes with options to extend your hike to a total of 6 miles, Boynton Canyon offers a little of everything: a Vortex, an impressive spire, a large cave-like formation and even Ancestral Puebloan ruins – not to mention the generally awesome views along the way.
