Boynton Canyon: Epic Views

With the warming weather it is time to get back out there! I recently headed to Sedona, AZ with my family and hiked into Boynton Canyon. This gorgeous hike gives you a little bit of everything. You'll start in more desert like conditions, head into beautiful canyons and red rock and then into Ponderosa Pines.

The one pitfall is the first 1/2 mile or so will connect you to the Enchantment Resort. When I hike I don't want to see civilization, so this was a bummer for me. However, it eventually went away as I traveled further into the hike. Oh! Also it is a popular trail. You're likely going to run into other folks and dogs.

The views at Boynton Canyon are exceptional. I could feel myself getting lost in happiness every where I put my gaze. The canyons surrounding me made me feel so small among these giant landscapes.

Boynton Canyon is about 6.2 miles. This trail took me about 2.5 hours, however I wish we would've had more time to hang out at the end of the trail and relax in the canyon more. The trail is relatively flat, until you get to the actual canyon where you will have to climb up some steps. Just take your time and you will make it!

Getting There:
Head down to Sedona via 89-A from Flagstaff. Follow 89-A through Uptown Sedona and pass all the roundabouts until you reach Dry Creek Road. Turn right. Follow the signs to Boynton Canyon which is located near the Enchantment Resort.
