Touring the Palatki Cliff Dwellings
In today's video, we go on a tour of some ruins down the road from our boondocking spot outside of Sedona. You need reservations to tour the Palatki ruins but they are free with an America the Beautiful Pass. We got to see the ruins and also an extra Pit tour of a sacred area where ancient people roasted Agave which was covered in pictographs. Something a little different than what we've seen before. We end our time in Sedona at our favorite restaurant Elote, before it's time to head back towards Tucson.

Top Things Sedona Arizona (2018)
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining me on another journey. This week, I am still in Sedona, Arizona. We decided to check out the ancient ruins about 15 miles west of Sedona in the Coconino Forest, called the Honanki Heritage Site. Fortunately, my National Parks pass covered the fee. If you don't have one of those, you can purchase a Red Rock Pass for your vehicle. They are open 9:30am-3:00pm daily. Be sure to call ahead to reserve your position in a group, as they only take so many people through at a time. Keep in mind that they do not recommend passenger cars on the gravel road to the ruins. It is a fairly short walk on the path to the cliff overhang that contains pictographs and petroglyphs of the Sinagua Indians created from 1100 to 1400 AD. We enjoyed learning what the very informative volunteer had to share with our group. He even did a version of show and tell with various artifacts from all those many years ago. That was very cool to see a miniature corn cob, pottery pieces, an arrowhead and even a glass-like rock. Honanki, which means “bear house,” is believed to have been one of the largest Sinagua communities in the Verde Valley. The Honanki ruins housed three separate cultures at different times in history. The Sinagua, Yavapai, and Apache Indians all resided in these ruins over the past seven centuries. The ruins are remarkably preserved and still an active archeological dig site. The red rock canyons became areas of intensive occupation with the construction of cliff dwellings. The Sinagua lived here from about A.D. 1100 to 1300. This period of Southern Sinagua prehistory is called the “Honanki Phase.” Honanki contains a more extensive set of ruins than Palatki. It represents one of the largest population centers in the Verde Valley. There were more than 60 ground floor rooms. There was another whole row of rooms in front of what is visible today, which would bring the total to 72 rooms, with various phases of construction and abandonment. The Sinagua abandoned the site around 1300 A.D., about 50 years after they left Palatki. The rooms at the east end were all destroyed simultaneously in a fire. The rooms were disassembled and stones were used in the construction of new rooms elsewhere on the site, judging by burn-marked stones. There were at least three phases of construction in the alcove. After enjoying the ruins, we walked over to check out the significant amount of rock art at the site. The volunteer over there was very informative as he explained the various forms spanning thousands of years. The rock art was done by the Sinagua and the Yavapai. We even learned that graffiti over approximately 75 years old is now considered part of history and preserved along with the other ancient drawings. What a fantastic opportunity it was to experience history like that! If you are going to or through Sedona, Arizona, I definitely recommend you check out the Honanki Heritage Site.

Palatki Heritage Site | Ancient Cliff Dwellings & Solar Calendar Pictographs | Sinaguan People
I loved learning about the ancient culture of the Verde Valley! In this video you will find good information of what the archaeologists have been speculating of the ancient Sinaguan people who first settled and farmed the Sedona and Cottonwood area. Palatki has a sister side known as Honanki Heritage site. You DO need a reservation to go to Palatki because of the limited space available around the sites. Our volunteer guides were very knowledgeable and wonderful to listen to. Please enjoy!

#vanlife Is new to this generation; a counter-culture whose mission is based around the idea of living more outdoors, being eco-friendly, and often times affortable. There are different off shots of this culture that are known as Escapees, Escapers, RubberTrampers, Digital Nomads, Snow birds, Rainbow kids, dirt bags, etc. People live in anything that moves, SUVs, cars, trucks, campers, trailers, bikes, tents, Class A's, school buses, step vans, Subaru's, and more. Some of us ask if others are full-timers or part timers This just means if you have a sticks and bricks(house) home base or if you have sold everything and are always on the road. I have been full time in my van for 2 1/2 years camping, boondocking, stealth camping, driveway surfing, parking lot hopping along the way. Every place is new and different and I have friends in many states now. The day to day life is interesting and filled with unknowns. I do get frustrated at it sometimes but I find that even after a few months of staying still I need to pick up and keep going. Seasonal and temporary jobs keep me going but also your support of my channel. I don't know if I would be still on the road in this capacity if it wasn't for your support and encouragement. I feel honored to have so many people rooting for me to keep at it! Through trials and tribulations, sunrises and sunsets this lifestyle change has been a growing experience.
Stay Curious!

Arizona: Sedona's Petroglyphs
Featuring: Red Tank Draw, Petroglyphs, Montezuma's Well and pictures of Sedona, Arizona and Shoshone-Yokut warrior artist, Black Eagle -
From my visit on July 6, 2009. Ancient Sinagua and or Anasazi Indians used this area to travel from the higher mountainous regions (today's Flagstaff area) to the more open and fertile Verde Valley. These ancient travelers left interesting petroglyph images along the cliff walls in various locations.
Montezuma's Well is a sinkhole, a collapsed underground limestone cavern filled with water. More than a million gallons of water a day flow continuously, providing a lush, verdant oasis in the midst of surrounding desert grassland.
Montezuma's Well is 368 feet across and 55 feet deep; it sits at an elevation of 3,618 feet. Native peoples started living in the region about 2000 years ago. The last known native peoples to inhabit the Montezuma Well area were the Western Apache. Two small caves at the well show signs of Apache occupation, sometime after 1800.
To get to Red Tank Draw, take 17 North to Hwy 618. Go right (east) on 618 Creek is on left can see it when you cross over the third bridge just before Southwestern Academy sign. To see the petroglyphs, continue crossing over the creek, and take the first right. The dirt road runs into the parking lot. Park there, and follow the wide path to the right all the way to the petroglyphs. There are other trails to follow. Stay on the wide path!
