Half day
Description: There are three areas of pictographs at Palatki: the Grotto, the Bear Alcove, and the Roasting Pit. There are over one thousand images between the three areas. The Bear Alcove and Roasting Pit areas are usually not open to the public due to the lack of volunteer docents. Special arrangements have been made to have a guide for this visit.
Hiking: The trail is unimproved, relatively flat with some uphill slopes and areas with steps.
Mileage: Driving mileage from Flagstaff to Palatki is about 30 miles (90 minutes one way).
Vehicle: High clearance is not required. A portion of the road from Uptown Sedona to Palatki is a semi-improved Forest Service gravel road.
