Cathedral Rock
Arizona, USA
Located near the heart of Arizona outside of the town of Sedona, Cathedral Rock is one of the state’s most easily recognized landmarks.1 The colorful layered sandstone peaks tower approximately 1200 feet above the surrounding landscape.2 3
A trail runs from Cathedral Rock’s base to its center, but it is sufficiently steep that the U.S. Forest Service warns those who tackle the formation to expect “more of a rock climb than a hike.”4
