Boynton Canyon
One of Sedona’s four major vortexes, home to the “Kachina Woman” rock spire and a canyon trail, with the hidden Subway Cave nearby.
Boynton Canyon lies in northwest Sedona and is regarded as the most energetic of the four major vortexes. The Boynton Canyon Trail is about 9.8 km round trip, climbing gently along the red rock canyon into the pine forest. About 1 km in, at a junction, a small hill offers a close view of the rock spire known as the “Kachina Woman.” The popular Subway Cave requires finding an unofficial side path from the middle of the trail. Inside the cave are remains of the Sinagua people, and climbing on the ruin walls is prohibited. A Red Rock Pass is required, and parking is limited.
