Driving to the Ancient Warrior Wall Ruins – A Sedona Fire Road Adventure

Join me for the rugged, 35-minute drive deep into the Coconino National Forest to reach the Loy Canyon Trailhead. This journey is a scenic adventure along the Forest 525 Road, also known as Loy Butte Road, which serves as the remote approach to the famed Warrior Wall Ruins.

From Sedona, the drive is approximately 16.3 miles and takes about 40 minutes. The route follows AZ-89A and then transitions to the unpaved fire road. This video guides you through the changing terrain, offering practical tips on handling the rough road conditions and what to look out for before your tires even stop moving.

The drive builds anticipation for the destination: the ancient cliff dwellings and rock art of the Sinagua people. These ruins, some over 800 years old, showcase incredible resourcefulness in building homes high into the red rock canyons. The journey itself is an essential part of the experience, offering spectacular, unspoiled views of Sedona's backcountry and setting the perfect stage for exploring this cultural history.
