Sedona is replete with hiking trails. For $5 per day or $15 for a week one can purchase a ticket that provides entry to any one of them. Since being here we have hiked the Courthouse Butte Loop, Fay Canyon and Doe Mountain. The pass also provides entry into the archeological sites Honanki and Palatki. These sites exhibit petroglyphs and the remains of pueblos, buildings built in the cliffs. Honanki and Palatki were in habited by the Sinagua people. They lived in the area between 500AD and about 1450AD. The Sedona area has a number of sites. The glyph below is of a fellow playing a flute.
I don’t recall seeing Indians playing the flute in any of the westerns I ever saw, just drums. How sadly wrong my view of these peoples was skewed.
