Would you hike 6 miles for this cave?
We visited one of the most beautiful caves in Sedona and it was absolutely magical.
📍Subway Cave via Boynton Canyon Trail
🥾6 miles roundtrip - you start at the parking lot for Boynton Canyon Trail. The trail can actually be a little tricky so map it out before you go. Our friend @where.is.ajax had it locked into GPS on his watch which was genius.
🪨The trail itself is pretty easy until you get to the actual cave. You do have to climb into the cave and it can be challenging.
📜 Once you explore Subway Cave, come out and go to your right to head up another climb to see the Sinatra Ruins.
⏰Sedona trails can get busy, but we went during the week at 1:00 p.m. and encountered a handful of people coming back on the trail and only a few at the actual cave. It didn’t feel “busy” at all.
💰You can use your National Parks Pass or there is a $5 fee to park
