It’s a really special spot. The climb is easy and only takes 10-15 minutes. The vortex energy is strong and evidenced by tightly twisted Juniper trees. (Juniper bark grows twisted where the vortex energy is strong.) It felt extremely good to me just to sit up there and stare at this beautiful rock. I felt really peaceful and in the presence of something very powerful, yet gentle.

I was lucky to be there alone three times. A hawk visited me on my way down once. For 10 minutes, it circled, swooped, and soared about 20 feet above my head. It was an amazing experience. At one point, I heard people coming down the trail, so I moved off to let them pass. Remarkably, the hawk stayed with me, though it ascended some. I hoped the loud family approaching wouldn’t scare the hawk away. They didn’t, and I was surprised that they didn’t notice it at all. I was so thankful for the experience and thought about all the things we miss when we are busy chattering and more focused on trying to get somewhere than on just being present where we are.

To get to Kachina Woman from uptown Sedona, take 89A west to Dry Creek Road (it’s near the end of West Sedona and there’s a restaurant called Delish on the corner there). Turn right (north) on Dry Creek Road. When the road runs out, turn left on Boynton Pass Road and follow the signs to Boynton Canyon and Enchantment Resort. The parking area for the trail is on the right side of the street before you get to the resort. It’s clearly marked.

Enter the trail and follow it until it forks. At the fork, there is a stone bench under a tree on the right. Do NOT follow the signs to Deadman's Pass. From the bench, make a left and follow the trail. You’ll see sign pointing the way to "vista trail." The path leads up and to your right.

If you’re adventurous, you can climb up behind Kachina Woman. It’s a scramble up steep rock, so be careful. I approached from the southeast side of her and slid down on my butt. There’s a small cave up there and a great view into Boynton Canyon.

Boynton Canyon trail continues on into the canyon. It's a great walk and very popular. You can access cliff dwelling ruins from it. Here's a link that describes Boynton Canyon trail: www.visionsofheaven.com/journeys-sedonadocs/sedBoynton.html Close
