Howdy AZTech,

I am living up here in Sedona for the summer. 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!
