Cathedral Rock is one of the most scenic hikes in Sedona, AZ with amazing views from the top.
Cathedral Rock is one of the most popular landmarks in Arizona. This amazing rock formation is located in Sedona, Arizona.
The hike is steep and requires a bit of climbing in some spots. The 1.5 miles roundtrip is pretty strenuous, leading you up a moderately steep incline, but well worth the reward once you make it up. Follow the basket cairns up and enjoy the breathtaking views from the top. This is a great spot to enjoy the sunset!
To get to the trail, park in the Cathedral Rock Trailhead parking lot on Back O Beyond Rd. The parking requires a $10 day pass.

Cathedral Rock Reviews
This is one of my favorite hikes in Sedona and it is absolutely worth the effort. I will say though, it is a bit crowded for my taste and it can be hard to find parking. Make sure to arrive early to beat the crowds.
4.0
If you're in Arizona, Sedona is a must see. Cathedral rock is a steep climb but the view from the top is unbelievable. If you're not used to high altitude, then you might get out of breath easily. Overall, this is a great hike, after your hike go into Sedona for great shopping and restaurants.
