About
Woo Ranch, located near Sedona, Arizona, is a historic site that was acquired by the U.S. Forest Service in 2000 as part of a land swap with the city of Sedona. The area is known for its abandoned ranch house and a significant rock art panel depicting a hunting scene with desert bighorn sheep, a water symbol, and handprints. The site offers a unique opportunity to explore both natural beauty and cultural history. Access to Woo Ranch is via Forest Road 795, which leads to the Palatki Heritage Site. Approximately 0.5 miles before reaching Palatki, visitors can park near the gate and walk a short distance down the old dirt road to the ranch house. The rock art panel is located up on the ridge to the left of the ranch house. The area is managed by the U.S. Forest Service, and while there are no developed camping facilities, dispersed camping may be permitted in designated areas. Visitors should adhere to Leave No Trace principles to preserve the site's integrity. The surrounding region offers additional attractions, including the Palatki Heritage Site, which features cliff dwellings and rock art panels dating back to AD 1150-1350. Guided tours are available at Palatki, providing insights into the Sinagua culture and the area's history. Reservations for these tours are required in advance. For those seeking developed camping options, nearby facilities include the Pine Flat and Cave Springs campgrounds in Oak Creek Canyon, offering amenities such as showers and reservable sites. Additionally, the West Sedona Designated Dispersed Camping areas along Forest Road 525 provide free camping opportunities with stunning views, though amenities are limited. (, )
