Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox mountain

Cathedral Rock is a natural sandstone butte near Sedona, Arizona, and one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona, United States.[1] The rock formation is located in the Coconino National Forest in Yavapai County, about Шаблон:Cvt west of Arizona Route 179, and about Шаблон:Cvt south of the "Y" intersection of State Routes 179 and 89A in uptown Sedona. The summit elevation of Cathedral Rock is Шаблон:Cvt.[2]

The Cathedral Rock trail (USFS Trail #170) is a popular short, steep ascent from the Back O' Beyond trailhead to the saddle points or "gaps" in Cathedral Rock.[3]

Geologically, Cathedral Rock is carved from the Permian Schnebly Hill formation, a redbed sandstone formed from coastal sand dunes near the shoreline of the ancient Pedregosa Sea. Ripple marks are prominent along the lower Cathedral Rock trail, and a black basalt dike may be seen in the first saddle.[1]

Cathedral Rock was called "Court House Rock" on some early maps,[4] and Courthouse Butte was called "Church House Rock",[5] which has caused endless confusion ever since.
