Honanki Heritage Site
Honanki
The largest Sinagua cliff dwelling complex in the Red Rock area, with plenty of ancient rock art on its walls; the bumpy road suits off-road vehicles.
Honanki Heritage Site is the largest Sinagua cliff dwelling in the Sedona red rock area, built around 1100–1300. Stone houses beneath the cliff and a large body of rock art are well preserved. The trail is short and flat, taking about 30–45 minutes to see, with volunteer guides. Access requires driving about 15 km on a bumpy dirt road, so a high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended, and many visitors join off-road jeep tours. A Red Rock Pass is required, and no reservation is needed. The site may close on Mondays and Tuesdays, so check before you go.
