Casner Canyon Vortex Tour
Casner Canyon’s imposing beauty can be admired from Sedona all the way to the Verde Valley and even Mingus Mountain. The trail meanders past Oak Creek and Casner Creek before ascending into open grasslands. The trail explores the floor of Casner Canyon before veering up the north slope. You will then climb to the canyon rim and the Schnebly Hill Road overlook. The path follows several cliffs, streams, and residual pools.
Cradle yourself in a fabulous five trunk Sycamore Tree, or take a dip in Oak Creek. This is a 10-minute walk to the creek. If you are adventurous, you can cross over the creek and meet the Casner trail which is off the beaten tourist path. This is very private and allows you to hike up a trail where the view begins to unfold. This journey is very lush and is a canyon experience.

Casner Canyon History
Native tribes, including the Sinagua, Anasazi, and Mogollon, populated the Casner Canyon area before settlers arrived from the eastern United States. They were nomadic hunters, who over time began to settle in pueblo-style communities, building dwellings into cliff and canyon walls. The Casner Canyon Vortex trail was established by the Casner family in the 1880’s to move their cattle from the Verde Valley to higher elevations in the summer. In 1875, traveling by covered wagon, Riley Casner and his wife Rebecca arrived in Jerome, Arizona where they started the first orchard in the Verde Valley. Today, the trail requires a USFS Special Use Permit. This access is granted for one trip a week during the months when the area is not frozen or snowy.
*We conduct activities on Public Land under permit with the Coconino National Forest.
