Sedona Arizona Cool Places To See

Discover some of the hidden places in Sedona - if you can find them. I call this a treasure map of photos.

Millions of tourists visit Sedona every year - either as a destination or on their way to the Grand Canyon. As locals, we have had the opportunity to explore some of the more hidden places in Sedona that most won't see. Because many of these secrets are not on maps, it is difficult to describe how to get to each one, but putting up photos and general areas makes the search more like a treasure hunt.

The Crack

The Crack - as locals call it. It isn't quite a cave - more like a cave then a shelf.

Boynton Canyon Ruins

Cave To Paradise

This tunnel opens up right on the creek and is pretty amazing.

Sedona Swimming Hole

This is a beautiful secret spot that often is void of tourists and a great place to cool off in the summer.

Skeleton Caves

I stumbled on these caves - you can go into one and come out the other. Beautiful view of the creek and not really too far away from everything.

This cave is actually HUGE and is hard to photograph. It has a small hole that you can only try and capture and frame. The view is amazing.

Sinkhole Two

There are two sinkholes in Sedona - one is quite wide and then there is this one. Both are very deep and are odd. This one has a fence around it as it's a surprise, the other one you can walk right up to the edge.

Love climbing into caves and shooting photos from them as they frame everything so beautifully.

Water Cave

Artificial walls built to capture stream water and bring it through the mountains and up to orchards.

Pools of Water

This location isn't so secret and many probably can name it or have found it. Soldiers Pass is a good start in finding this one.

So only a handful of clues were left on where to find these locations. The fun is in the discovery - so come out and hike in Sedona and see what you can find.
