HIKE CATHEDRAL ROCK
Cathedral Rock is one of the most scenic hikes in Sedona with its breathtaking views. It is also one of the most popular landmarks in Arizona. Just a heads up: The hike is steep and requires a bit of climbing in certain spots. Although it is only 1.5 miles round-trip, it is pretty strenuous, leading you up a moderately steep incline, but the beautiful reward awaiting you at the top is well worth it. It is also a magnificent spot to enjoy the sunset.

HIKE BROKEN ARROW TRAIL TO CHICKEN POINT
This quick, classic Sedona beauty might take the cake for its combination of ease and spectacular view. It’s fully loaded with breathtaking red rock views of Battlement Mesa and Twin Buttes to the west and white/red rock views of Munds Mountain Wilderness to the east. If you’re going to do just one Sedona hike, we recommend this one be at the top of the list.
