Hiking the Boynton Canyon Trail | Secret Subway Cave | Sedona | Arizona

Boynton Canyon's Secret Subway Cave... Now with that title it'll surely catch everyone's attention! Although the secret may be out of the bag at this point, it is certainly a gem and truly amazing hike that everyone should have the opportunity to experience in their lifetime. The Boynton Canyon Trail is only located about 10 minutes from town and just 2 minutes past the entrance to the Devil's Bridge Trail where there is a parking lot, which if full you can just park along the road where there will likely already be many cars making it easy to find. From the trailhead this hike is 9km round trip and a relatively easy hike with rough and rocky terrain. At the end when you reach the Subway Cave you will need to scramble up a steep slope to enter the cave. This hike took about an hour to reach the Subway Cave and a total of 3 hours to get back to the truck allowing for time spent enjoying some lunch and taking in the views. Once in the cave you will be treated with sweeping views of Boynton Canyon from the mouth of the keyhole. From here you can explore around the ledge which will lead you to some very well kept Ancient Ruins estimated to be 700-800 years old. I recommend stopping by to check out the Boynton Vista Trail which is about 500m into the hike and only adds 700m to your hike. This trail leads to a large pillar which is also the location of one of the major Vortexes in Sedona. ***There are a few ATV rental companies in Sedona that I highly recommend as many of the trails are within 15 minutes or so from town. Many trails can be reached easier with a 4X4 vehicle and it looks like a great time! I hope that you can take some notes from my hike that may help you on your future hike or just simply enjoy my experience and the amazing views along the hike at the Boynton Canyon Subway Cave.
