I am celebrating my 50th year by hiking 50 different trails. I will be posting photos and information on each hike. Most of the trails will be in Arizona but some will be in other states or countries. Please send suggestions for any hikes you recommend. Thank you for reading my blog!

Hike #6 - Cathedral Rock Sedona, AZ
Sedona is one of my favorite places and I had always wanted to hike there. My friend Mark Williams joined me November 4th-6th, for several hikes in Sedona. Cathedral Rock had a fresh layer of snow the morning we started our hike. The trail is 1.5 miles up and back with an elevation change of 600'. It was a bit of a challenge getting to the trail head due to the melting snow and high water we had to cross but we found a place to cross without getting our shoes too wet. The red rocks were slippery but thankfully people have carved steps into the rock which helped immensely. The view at the top was amazing and worth the climb. There is also a "vortex" at the top although we didn't really feel different or understand what that was about!
