Summary: A short hike to two vortex rock formations
Challenge Level: Easy

Trailhead Directions: This trailhead is shared with the Boynton Canyon Trail trailhead. From the "Y" (the intersection of Highway 179 and Highway 89A), drive towards Cottonwood 3 miles. Turn right on to Dry Creek Road. Stay on Dry Creek to the stop sign (about 3 miles) and turn left on to Boynton Canyon Road. Stay on Boynton Canyon to the next stop sign. Turn right on to Boynton Pass Road and the trailhead parking is about 0.1 mile on the right at GPS coordinates 34° 54.452' North; 111° 50.909' West.
Description: If you want to see if you can experience the energy of a vortex, this is the hike for you. You hike the Boynton Canyon Trail for 0.3 mile and turn right on to the Boynton Vista Trail at the sign (GPS coordinates: 34° 54.623' N; 111° 50.987' W). Hike for 0.2 mile along the Vista Trail and the trail ends. Climb up on the rocks to the two tall rock formations above you. Some folks do their meditation and then place their foreheads on each of the rocks to feel the energy.
