GREAT SEDONA HIKES

Palatki Indian Ruins

One of the nicest examples of cliff dwellings of the Sinagua and later Indians in the Sedona area, the Palatki ruins are well worth a stop. There are ruins and rock art, viewable in two locations after short hikes. The visitor center is located off of Forest Road 795, west of Sedona. Be sure to call (928) 2823854 for a reservation (there is no cost beyond the cost of a Red Rock Pass).

Ratings For This Hike:

"Just got back from our first visit to Sedona. This was one of a few hikes that we did.  Our hikers ranged in age from my 10 and 12 year 
old sons and my 64 year old parents.  We were all able to hike the 2 trails without a problem. Just took it slow up the steps.  The volunteers 
at the top were so informative.  Hard to believe that the pueblos and art work have been there since the 1100's.  This was a great hike.  We 
called the day before and had no problem getting a reservation.  Be sure to call ahead!" - Joseph S. of New Jersey
