This hike goes up to Cathedral Rock from where the view over Sedona and the surrounding Valley is nice. The hike passes on Red Rock Crossing Trail. At the beginning of the hike you have to cross a river (very little water) ans continue left. The beginning of the hike is pretty easy, but the last 0.5 mile is more difficult with an elevation gain of 650 feet. It is often necessary to use your hands to move forward.

Access : from Sedona, take US89A South for 4,5 miles and turn left on Red Rock Loop Road for  1,8 miles and again left on Chavez Ranch Road for 0,4 miles (0,6 km) and finally right on Red Rock Crossing Road for 0,5 miles to the parking (9$ in 2012).

Very touristic site and very popular with American in the weekend. It is possible to swim, which explains the large crowds. For a little quiet, you must go back up the river and settled on the banks of the river. Nevertheless, the site is worth because the rock is very colorful and the water (fresh) transparent.

Access : 6,9 miles North of Sedona on US89A. The parking is very expansive !!! (20$ in 2012).

This short hike is not of a great interest. The trail is Lower Chimney Rock Trail. The trail circles  Chimney Rock. The only good point is the view after reaching the highest point of the hike.

Access : from Sedona, take US89A South for 3,5 miles and turn right on Dry Creek Road for 0,5 mile. Turn right again on Thunder Mountain Road for 0,6 miles (1 km). Access to the parking (free) is on the left.

Viewpoint on the green valley of Sedona. No great interest, but as it's on the road to Flagstaff and Grand Canyon, it would be a shame to miss it especially since it is free.

Access : 15,5 miles North of Sedona on US89A right after a series of 4 or 5 laces.
