About

  • Explore these canyons and 700 year old cliff dwellings from the air without even leaving a footprint.

  • Lifting off the airport mesa heading northwest bound we cruise towards Devil’s Bridge and into Secret Canyon. We will explore the pristine wilderness as we climb up onto the Mogollon Rim, then descend back down through Boynton Canyon where we will gaze upon ancient Sinaqua Indian cliff dwellings along the way.

Adventure Tips

Stay hydrated

Carry plenty of water as Sedona’s dry climate can quickly dehydrate you, especially during warm months.

Wear sun protection

Bring sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses to guard against strong Arizona sun exposure.

Respect archaeological sites

Do not touch or remove any artifacts or markings at historical locations to help preserve their integrity.

Prepare for uneven terrain

Wear sturdy footwear with good grip as some trails around the Anasazi sites are rocky and uneven.
