For a truly memorable and iconic sunset experience, be ready to climb up a short but steep hike to Cathedral Rock. This is an 8-minute drive from our location. Beginner hikers may get intimidated going uphill - it gets a little bit technical.

Pro Tips:

• If you time it right around 5 PM - 5:15 PM, you may have a chance of catching a parking spot at the trailhead. The road to the trailhead is typically blocked on weekends and holiday weeks, between 7 AM - 5 PM, to keep it clear for residents.

• Sedona local shuttle: you can opt for this to avoid having to drive and park, though it might be a slower option. Check out their routes and schedule here: https://sedonashuttle.com/

• Bring a headlamp! If you're going to watch the sunset, it may get pretty dark before you've hiked your way out of the trail.
