Palatki and Honaki
 
Palatki
 
The road to Palatki was not as rough as the road to Honaki but nonetheless we had taken our adventure up to red rock country. The mountains and red cliffs around us made the drive very worth while. The area was vast one could drive down its dirt road wondering what life is like on top of these mountains or in the canyons where once ancient tribes hunted and roamed. I would visit these two locations as they were sister sites just separated by miles of red cliffs and vast wilderness.
 
We had to make reservations as this is a location that gives historical tours. They also have a small museum on site with artifacts and such. This may have been favorite location to explore as it seemed like the rangers were all related and enjoyed sharing the wealth of information on this place.
 
I was all cramped up in the car at the time as soon as I arrived I was like I need to smoke some pot. What I didn't realize is the guide told me that sound in Palatki gets trapped along the red walls as Palataki is surrounded on three sides by cliffs. She looked at me said you gotta watch what you say sound can be heard from the parking area I was like oops lol.
 
It was still a little cool out we warmed up by the fire inside the museum it was roaring and cozy. I hiked up to an area that had an over hang and along the red cliffs. There I would be greeted by a guide who was more then nice. She actually took me to an area off limits and gave me an in depth tour of rock art. Some of the rock art was from the tribes who lived in the pueblos which sat adjacent towards another set of red cliffs. Some of the art was historical graffiti from local ranchers in the 1800's some early 1900's while some of the art was from the cave man days of mankind. It seemed like so many various groups of humans at one time or another came to these cliffs just to converge.
 
Everything was so green here and beautiful cactuses grew everywhere. If you ever wanted true peace this location offers just that. Off in the distance from where we were at I could see various pueblo ruins. Unfortunately they were not allowing anyone to get within 50 feet of them due to the fact that years of water running down the cliff or rather natural seasonal waterfalls caused a giant rock to come loose. If it were to fall on someone that would be it.
 
Most of the rock art at this location was unique everything from ladders to animals. Some of it was hard to make out but you could get the general idea. Allot of what was painted on the rocks was put here to match up with the sun and the moon. Some of it is mysterious as well or unknown. I remember also seeing a cross....lightening bolt and a few other things that kept me wondering the entire time.
 
My son found what appeared to be an old arrow head in an area that is off limits right along the edge. They actually took it and brought it down to the museum. It seemed like my kids really liked this place. We also on the path found this old modern day pueblo which was made by a lonely hermit who lived off the land.
 
We eventually went to the other end of the Palatki just across where the rock art was where a ranger gave us a guided tour of the pueblo ruins. Him and I talked awhile and he was telling me about how the Indians here were getting stoned. Then he was talking to me about bands because my jacket says sinister. He also was telling me how awesome it would be if a concert were to be held here since the walls bounce back the sound. He was an alright guy he got me in to the pueblos allot closer then most of the tourist. I professed allot of interest here perhaps.
 
The ranger showed me a symbol often found above ancient cities that served as their emblem much like in the medieval times when castles were fortresses. The natives also marked their cities or emblems to their tribes high up on the cliffs.
 
Leaving Palatki was sad its so peaceful here as it sits a few miles in to red rock country just outside of Sedona. I wondered what mysteries surround this location. The ranger told me higher up on the cliffs their are black bear here which is something you often do not see in any desert. But life in the painted desert is flourishing and this tour proved it.
 
Honanki
 
We just left Palatki now we have about 5 to 6 miles of straight up offroading. Although the road wasn't terribly bad it truly was not made for a car. Hence why pink jeep tours takes folks out here because the terrain is very rough at times. When I say rough I mean parts of the road washed out.....sandy soft areas...giant rocks in the middle of the road.
 
Everyone sat silent allowing me to focus on the drive one wrong move meant spending the day out in the painted desert. The ride was nice we passed a few very old ranches.....the scenery of the high red cliffs....and green desert fauna made it feel as if we were in a painting.
 
When I arrived in the parking area their was a booth that gave out maps and a bunch of tour companies back here. I decided to head for the road less kind and we hiked on in a forested area that had some natural creek flowing throughout it hence why it was so green.
 
Eventually after hiking in the shady woods we came on out to some red cliffs on the back side of Honaki where we would be greeted by a series of crumbling pueblos. Their were quite a few you could walk up to and stand in. Most were right by the trail the ones that sat up in the overhang were prohibited from entering since climbing on these rocks could be detrimental to its preservation.
 
I seen some rock art along the cliffs from afar and well their was some pretty rude folks hiking on the trail who refused to move for me to take photos with my kid. I hate people like this where your hiking want a photo and they just stand in the way talking about what their shit looks like. You get the idea but I am not a tourist I am someone trying to uncover life's mysteries that are around us and the paranormal.
 
I could not believe how far away we were from Sedona the area is vast miles of dirt roads leading to trails, pueblos and red cliffs. I really think that our viewers will eventually love this excursion. Like most of my Sedona trip I did take allot of photos equal to videos.
 
Although taking a pink jeep tour is fun because you visit so many sites its funner to do the trip yourself back here. You will feel as if your on some safari or something.
 
I had another location I was going to hike at its actually an ancient cave rumored to connect to Sedonas underworld. But when I arrived at the trail head their was like 50 cars and tons of folks smothering the area. That is the problem with locations like Sedona......their isn't any way to get away from people so that you can focus on one thing and one thing only "The Paranormal" so I would be forced to turn around and just cherish these two peaceful spots where the natives once thrived. A part of me nonetheless conquered this destination one of the top 10 paranormal hotspots in the world and at least for the day it was all mine.
