Loved our experience hiking there. To be noted it is pretty steep going up and coming down, and yet totally worth the climb. 💕Beautiful scenery from the top!

Got there on a Tuesday morning in late Oct at 7 am. Found plenty of spots in the additional parking. The hiking is very fun and challenging! Don’t be scared of the little tunnels at the tail! It’s only a small portion of the whole trail. If you can climb up, then there is no problem going down! Turn left to find the platform at the end of the trail!

There are no words. The emotions I felt getting to the top are indescribable. I truly felt the energy. The climb was difficult but well worth the entire experience. Don't forget to go to the left at the end of the trail for another part!

Some of the climb could be a little tricky to inexperienced hikers so go at your own risk. Some parts are kid friendly but not all. Go only as far as you feel comfortable with. All in all it’s very fun hike with some of the best views of Sedona.

We started at the Baldwin trail. Parking was $5. It was lovely, shaded and refreshing.

It is a short but demanding hike up some steep sections, including some rock scrambling up to the base of the cathedral rock… Spectacular views and great workout .. I highly recommend go early morning and beat the crowds…

Wow. What a beautiful experience at Cathedral Rick on our trip to Sedona, Arizona. The climb gets tougher as you go higher, and make sure you remember the trail going up. A bit slippery on the way down. Also, a beautiful stream if you hike to your right and flatland to the left.

Perfect day hike. We did this in late December and walked in light tops under a glorious winter sun. We parked at the bell rock parking and walked in, it was fantastic with view after view. Staying in the trail was tricky at times but people put tree branches across wrong routes which helped and there is good signal for maps apps. The parking was full by about 9:30 with people queuing to get a spot so best get there early or later in the day, even in winter.
