Thousand-year-old Sinagua cliff dwellings and rock art are good-enough reasons to brave the 7 or so miles of dirt road leading to this enchantingly located archaeological site on the edge of the wilderness. There's a small visitor center and three easy trails suitable for strollers but not for wheelchairs. With limited parking and limited group-sizes at the sites (maximum of ten people at a time), reservations are required. No pets.
True ruin groupies should ask here about exploring the Honanki Ruins (9:30am-4pm), a further 3 miles north. To get to the site, follow Hwy 89A west of the Y for about 10 miles, then hook a right on FR 525 (Red Canyon Rd, a dirt road) and follow it 8 miles north to the parking lot.
