Robbers Roost:
According to local legend, Robbers Roost (also known as Shaman’s Cave or the Hide Out Cave), located northwest of Sedona but visible from any high vantage point in town, was a hideout for bandits and bootleggers, hence the name. While that has never been proven, there’s no doubt this off-the-beaten-path cave with expansive views of the surrounding forest would make a great lair. The trail that leads to the roost is short - only 0.4-mile one way - but steep and rocky. We started our hike at a parking turnout on FR 9530. Note that you need a four wheel-drive and/or high-clearance vehicle to travel on FR 9530. Passenger vehicles will need to park at the start of this steep, rocky road and walk, which adds one mile to your hike on either side.
Honanki Cliff Dwellings:
Honanki and its sister site, Palatki, were the largest cliff dwellings of the Red Rock country between AD 1150 - 1350. The Sinagua, ancestors of the Hopi, lived here preparing meals, raising their families, and making tools from stone, leather, and wood. Nearby they hunted for deer and rabbit, tended various crops, and gathered edible wild plants. They were first described by Dr. Jesse Walter Fewkes, famous turn-of-the century archaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution, who gave them the Hopi names of Honanki (Badger House) and Palatki (Red House). The Hopi, however, have no specific names for these sites.
The Honanki Heritage Site cliff dwelling and rock art site is located near the town of Sedona in north-central Arizona. The site is managed by the U.S. Forest Service under the Red Rock Pass Program. Please review the Archaeological Site Etiquette Guide before your visit.
The road to this site is generally passable to passenger cars when dry, but it is not regularly maintained by the County and has some rough and rocky stretches. High clearance vehicle recommended. The compensation for abusing your motor vehicle are wonderful views of the red rock formations that Sedona is so famous for.
