A Sedona Adventure: Hiking Cathedral Rock, Stunning Views, and Memorable Meals

Sedona’s natural beauty never fails to impress, and my recent trip was no exception. Here’s a recap of my unforgettable time hiking Cathedral Rock, exploring the breathtaking landscapes, and enjoying delicious local food.

My journey to Cathedral Rock started with the free shuttle from a nearby lot. It was such a convenient and eco-friendly way to get to the trailhead, allowing me to relax and take in the views along the way. Once I arrived, the scenery was already stunning. The rock formations towering over the landscape were nothing short of mesmerizing. The trail offered a bit of a challenge but was well worth it for the incredible views from the summit. Standing there, taking in Sedona’s natural beauty, was truly an awe-inspiring experience.

After the hike, I headed to the Arroyo Pinion Hotel, a part of the Ascend Hotel Collection. The hotel was charming and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of outdoor adventure. It’s conveniently located, making it easy to explore everything Sedona has to offer.

The drive to the crater was fun.
