I have done lots of caches up here (come to think of it, I have done them all now! HA!). I think EVERY SINGLE cache I have done in the Sedona area (and I might even say the virtuals as well) are very quality caches. Most of them are hiking caches of various lengths. Some very short hikes, others much longer. Others are almost drive bys.... if you have a high clearance vehicle. Most all of them are on hiking trails (and not bushwacking stuff). There are a few caches hidden in town... but none are of the 'urban micro' style that you might have seen in Phoenix. All are still hidden in very scenic locations right in town and short walks from parking. Just do a search of zip code 86336 and take your pick!!! It would be hard for me to pick a favorite. I have done lots of fun caches up there. Perhaps I might suggest Boynton Canyon trail for a scenic 6 mile round trip hike (fairly level... with a tad bit of elevation at the end). There is a cache on that trail (GCH0RR). There is also a cache on Robbers Roost. This is a nice drive down a long dirt road to the far back reaches of the Sedona area (GCCA8E). This cache is on top of the little rock mountain there near some old caves where robbers used to hide out. Great views and a really fun scramble up the rock. About a 0.35 mile hike one way. There are several caches in the same general area of this one that can be had as well. Bins Keep Forever cache is an oldie, but a goodie. (GC69A0). Bit of a hike, but if you have a 4x4 vehicle or a Jeep (or you can rent a Jeep in Sedona!).... you can drive right to this cache... almost. It is on the Broken Arrow jeep trail. I can go on and on. Just alot of great quality caches up there! Scott Team Ropingthewind
