HISTORY OF SHAMAN’S CAVE, ARIZONA
Shaman’s Cave dates to Native Americans including Shaman, chiefs, and high
priests, who used it as a stargate (portal) to communicate with spirits. In the
cave, you will find burned spots on the floor from ancient ceremonies. However,
Sedona itself has been occupied since 11,500 B.C. Perhaps some religious
activities of the Shaman’s Cave date to before Native Americans.
LOCATION OF SHAMAN’S CAVE, SEDONA, ARIZONA
Shaman’s Cave is on top of a dome of rose sandstone of 750 feet. Inside the
Shaman’s Cave is a large, 20 x 40 x 15-foot room. It is difficult to find. It isn’t a
tourist attraction. It is a strenuous hike to reach it. The Shaman’s Cave’s opening
walks to a sheer cliff. The climb is not recommended for the faint of heart.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is surrounded by
the Mystic Hills. The Mystic Hills are also considered a vortex, like Shaman’s
Cave. The hills are filled with ancient petroglyphs, including sacred images.
The chapel, itself, is positioned in a manner to overlook most of Sedona. The Chapel
offers an invitation for all religions to pray.
Tlaquepaque is filled with art, fine shops, boutiques, and local events. Out of
Africa Wildlife Park is a fun day trip. Great-West (Bus) Tours is in Sedona,
Arizona, but spreads its routes into mountains and valleys across the state.

It’s called Robbers Roost. Not Shaman’s Cave. Only the tourist industry that prostitutes the location for money calls it Shaman’s Cave,. So sad that it is a phony made-up name and insult to the history of the Wes and people use it.
