For your average hiker it might be a bit daunting but go for it! Views are spectacular from all angles. Once you get to the top make sure you make your way around the rim to see the other side! more

My wife and I climbed to the top and felt the energy. The climb itself was difficult but fun. I climbed to the other saddles and experienced a euphoric state. The views and the energy made the climb & descent well worth the effort. Take plenty of water with you. more

As the other reviews have stated, this is a short but steep hike. You have to do some scrambling up the rocks, but it is not too bad and all in all it is a very nice hike. We did the hike in early morning (around 7 am) and there were only a few people around so the hike was... more

I loved it here! This place was highly recommended in books and by locals so we decided to check it out. It wasn't a long hike, however it was pretty steep. And by the time we got to the top, it was well worth it! We sat there for about an hour just enjoying the view and feeling incredibly energized... more

Our reluctant 14 yr old NON-hiker gave a thumbs up to this hike (and so did our more cooperative 10 yr old)...or rather, climb. That's what made it fun...you basically climb most of the 0.7 miles pretty high up on Cathedral Rock. We're all in pretty good shape, so it didn't totally wipe us out...but it did end just in... more

The drive to it is very pretty. Bring your camera because Cathedral Rock is probably the most beautiful of the area. And there are picnic tables so bring a snack or two. The creek was high, moving quickly and quite loud, what a great sound! I went in February, it wasnt crowded. Great hike, make sure you have shoes that... more

For those who are in excellent shape this is not a difficult hike at all, nor is it time consuming in any way. However, make sure you have your camera or other gear in a backpack so you don't potentially damage your goods by thrashing it against one of the forever amount of large rocks along the path. This is... more

This is a strenous but short hike. The veiws at the top and actually all throughout are amazing! It is a scramble in some places. you have to be on all fours when it starts getting steep, and in some sections there are no foot holds. i was actually a bit nervous in some sections but it is totally worth... more

We took the famouse hike up Cathedral rock with my wife and two friends, and it easily lived up to the hype. I've done a number of hikes around Sedona, and this one is unforgettable! It's listed as "strenuous", and it's definitely a solid, heart pounding workout in some sections. The first third is pretty much a moderate hike, but... more
