Staying with the Sedona theme I wanted to call your attention to what is one of the most iconic views of the American Southwest. Cathedral Rock is easy to get to. It’s just a mile off highway 179, ten to fifteen minutes from downtown Sedona. Hiking is permitted up to some of the peaks, my wife and I did not make the climb (we had a plane to catch that evening, and a hospital stay would have delayed our departure). There is a state park on Forest Park Rd (fee) where you can walk 3 minutes to a stream and photograph this structure to your heart's content. These are a few of my favorites from different vantage points. When, and I highly recommend it, you visit to Sedona, even if you are not a hiker or trail runner, take an hour or two and relax at Cathedral Rock. (Bring your camera)
