Sears Kay Ruins Trail Description

The hike to the Sears Kay Ruins is a delightful little adventure suitable for nearly everyone. This easy walk has great wildflowers in the spring and excellent views of the ruins and basin all year round. With picnic areas near the trailhead, you can easily make an afternoon out of your visit here or choose this hike to pair with another one in the area.

From the trailhead, the route meanders through the desert towards the ruins site. It’s a quick trip and the elevation gain is quite manageable. At the ruins site, you can check out the remnants of the structures and look out into the basin beyond, which you have a great view of.

From the lookout, you’ll return to the trailhead the same way you came out.
