Pink Jeep Tours maintains, rebuilds and re-vegetates trails throughout the greater Sedona area and recently completed a major renovation to the trails at the Honanki cliff dwellings in Sedona. All trail maintenance was done by Pink Jeep Tours employees with approval from the Red Rock Ranger District Archaeologist, Travis Bone.
The major renovation included filling and leveling gravel along the trail, improving drainage, clearing debris, stabilizing culverts and walls along the trail, creating wheelchair accessible ramps, adding natural rock steps at trail inclines and implementing safeguards to reduce the effects of future erosion.
Sedona attracts nearly 4 million visitors from around the world each year, eager to see the richly colored landscape and to experience the spirituality that accompanies this unusually beautiful area. All of this traffic takes its toll on the local trails causing erosion, flooding and loss of vegetation. Pink Jeep Tours is dedicated to giving back to the community that has made the past 50 years of business possible.
The Honanki cliff dwellings in Sedona is one of the major archaeological historical areas of Sedona. The Sinagua (ancestors of the Hopi) lived in the dwellings from about AD1100 to 1300. The site is managed by the U.S. Forest Service under the Red Rock Pass Program and is open to the general public from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. seven days a week. Pink Jeep offers the Ancient Ruins Tour to these dwellings, a once in a lifetime archaeological adventure.
