Boynton Canyon - Sedona, AZ

This morning at 7:30am I hiked up Boynton Canyon to search for the Dream Speaker Ruins. I was off trail and following a suggested route that others had taken. However, as I tried to climb out of the rocky side canyon, the drainage became dense with thorny shrubs, manzanita, and cacti. I got all scratched up searching for a break in the shrubs and cliffs. A football sized rock fell on my leg too. Eventually I became exhausted and gave up. I'll have to return another day and try a different route. I covered 7.2 miles in 3.5 hours.
