Hang 'Em High Canyon, Sedona, Arizona

Hang 'Em High Canyon is a Sedona classic located on the cliffside just north of the enchanted town. There are many great canyons surrounding the Sedona area and this one has an interesting appeal — THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE AROUND. I found that aspect to be incredibly rewarding as we didn't have to fight for parking, unlike the half-mile of cars lined up for the hike to Devils Bridge.

Hang 'Em High was an easy half-day canyon — a cliff canyon where you can see the bottom from the top, but with its moments of scenery and fiery red walls. I would not consider it a destination canyon on its own, but a nice half-day of solitude with friends and some fun raps. There are a number of canyons within this region and I'm looking forward to coming back for more.
