sketchfab

Drone level flight takes place at 20 meters above launch point. This model represents a highly eroded and damaged hill top and hillside Sinagua village with 10-20 original stone rooms in the Coconino Forest near Sedona, Arizona. The large black area is a hillside slope that was burned due to a careless hiker dropping a cigarette on the ground. The wooden walkway on the SW side of the hill is one area of the hill that is on private property and must be respected. This model is part of an ongoing project to document archaeological sites at risk due to natural or vandalism-related issues in the Coconino Forest near Sedona, Arizona. North is up in the initial view, providing a clear understanding of the terrain. Additional information about the Red Rock District of the Coconino Forest can be found on various web sites including sedonaredrocktrails.org and fs.usda.gov/recmain/coconino/recreation. Information about volunteer opportunities in the Coconino Forest is also available at friendsoftheforestsedona.org, where you can learn more about creating 3D models like this one and other projects that support the forest's preservation.
