you MUST go here when in Sedona - it is the closest you will ever get to Heaven.... <3 The church is beautiful, the grounds are amazing and if you can't hike up the hill there is a golf cart available to drive you up. I visit here every time i go to Sedona :)

Can be crowded on the weekends but this is the crowning jewel of Sedona, views are beautiful. If you can go up further to the backside of the trail, do it.

Cathedral Rock was interesting. I usually stay away from touristy things, and this is definitely that.

Our group of 6 (3 Couples) - A great adventure. Our group had some individuals is good shape, and one who had a hip replacement about 6 months ago. Everyone had fun, some stopped about 1/3 of the way up, others about 1/2 way. However I was one of the ones who made it to the top and it was... More
