Now I’ll be honest… hiking Cathedral Rock is not for the faint of heart. It’s a pretty rough hike up to the top of the trail but man, oh, man are those views worth it. Hannah & Nathan were troopers during their entire Cathedral Rock Couples Photos session and I am still in awe of how they looked so great even after the strenuous hike.

We hiked up and took a break for some photos at the “halfway” point of the trail. This part of the trail takes about 20 minutes to get to from the parking lot trailhead. Up until this point, the hike is nothing strenuous, and most moderately-fit people will be able to do it easily!

After the “halfway” vista point is where the real hiking begins. From this point, the hike is fairly difficult, with swift elevation gains and some hand-over-hand climbing required. GOOD HIKING SHOES with GOOD GRIP are an absolute must. For this next hour of the hike, these two changed back into hiking clothes. But, once you’re at the top of the trail and see the views, it’s hard to complain.

Absolutely LOVED this Adventurous Sedona Cathedral Rock Engagement Session with Hannah and Nathan. If this is what you have in mind for your engagement session, Reach out here and let’s get y’all on the other side of my camera!!
