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

Thing to remember when visiting the Red Rock/Coconino Forest area!! Red Rock Passes are required to park at the scenic overlooks and trailheads for recreation. Although they aren’t necessary for short stops for photos (15 minutes or less). A daily pass is $5. We set out to conquer this one-mile hike of the iconic Cathedral Rock after lunch at about... more

I hiked up Catherdal Rock and when we got to the top, I was simply AMAZED at how BEAUTIFUL and MAGNIFICENT the view was! I saw the sunset up there and it was a experience like no other! but warning don't stay too long because it is HARD to see the markers at night and there is no one out... more

This hike is incredibly awe-inspiring. Cathedral Rock is a sacred place and the scenery and atmosphere is well.....some of the most beautiful in the world. That is my opinion. It is a place to be respected. The climb is a bit challenging but very well worth it. If you go, bring plenty of water and enjoy the silence. more
