Sedona, Arizona has many famous rock formations and one of the most photographed is Cathedral Rock. Carved from the Permian Schnebly Hill formation, a redbed sandstone formed from coastal sand dunes near the shoreline of the ancient Pedregosa Sea. The trail is short (1 1/2 miles one-way), but very steep up to the saddle. I had to turn back due to an ongoing “charley horse” problem, but spent time on flatter trails in the area.
