Cathedral Rock, Mountain formation in Sedona, United States.
Cathedral Rock stands as a natural sandstone formation rising to 4,967 feet within the red rocks of Coconino National Forest near Sedona.
Early cartographers marked this formation as Court House Rock on their maps, which created confusion with the nearby Courthouse Butte designation.
The red sandstone formation serves as a central subject for photographers and artists capturing the natural elements of Arizona landscapes.
Visitors can reach Cathedral Rock through Trail 170, which begins at Back O Beyond trailhead and leads to multiple saddle points.
The formation contains visible black basalt dikes and ripple marks that reveal its origins as ancient coastal sand dunes from the Pedregosa Sea.
