Cathedral Rock, a towering 4,965-foot (1,513-meter) sandstone butte, stands sentinel over Sedona’s iconic red rock landscape. This natural formation, often featured on postcards and tourist materials, is a quintessential symbol of Arizona. Visitors can capture its striking presence from various vantage points or take on the short but steep Cathedral Rock Trail for a closer encounter. The trail offers a challenging hike with rewarding views, making it a popular destination for both photographers and outdoor enthusiasts.
