Explore the Majestic Cathedral Rock

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the Sedona Main Street area, head northeast on Main St toward Dry Creek Rd. Continue on Main St for about 0.5 miles until you reach the intersection with AZ-89A. Cross the road and follow the signs directing you toward the Chapel of the Holy Cross. From there, you can follow the trail that leads to Cathedral Rock. It will take approximately 30-40 minutes to walk to the trailhead from Main Street, depending on your pace.

• Biking

  You can rent a bike from one of the local rental shops in the Sedona area, such as Sedona Bike & Bean. Once you have your bike, start your ride on the Bell Rock Pathway, which is accessible from the Village of Oak Creek. Ride north on the pathway for about 3 miles until you reach the intersection with Verde Valley School Rd. Turn left and continue straight until you reach the Cathedral Rock trailhead. This ride should take around 20-30 minutes.

• Public Transport

  Take the Verde Lynx bus from the Sedona community center (located at 2615 Sinagua Heights Dr). Board the bus heading towards Cottonwood and get off at the stop for the Chapel of the Holy Cross. From there, you will need to walk approximately 1 mile along the road leading to the Cathedral Rock trailhead. The bus operates on a limited schedule, so be sure to check the latest timetable.
