Route Description for Gordon’s Ridge via Boynton Canyon Trail
Boynton Canyon is a box canyon perched in the mountains above Sedona, and it offers a very unique hiking experience with its dramatic red walls and gorgeous views. This hike takes you through the canyon up to a ridge, which requires some climbing to reach.
You should be comfortable with some scrambling to get up the ridge. The trail can also be a difficult one to follow, so we recommend downloading a trail map and GPS track before heading out.
Begin from the trailhead. You’ll cross the Boynton Canyon Creek and turn left. Stay left to hike past the resort. There are excellent views of the red canyon walls here. Where a trail branches off to the left, stay right. You’ll do some climbing right at the end of the route as the vegetation changes with the elevation. Soak up the views before retracing your steps to the trailhead.
