West Fork of Oak Creek

West Fork of Oak Creek On the third day of our camping trip on the Mogollon Rim above Sedona, we headed to the western end of West Fork. The canyon starts on the Rim, intersecting Woody Mountain Road, and cuts east, where it joins Oak Creek Canyon, a total distance of seven or eight miles. At the Oak Creek end, thereâ€™s an official trailhead (West Fork #108) at Call oâ€™ the Canyon, which runs about three miles up the canyon. We decided to try hiking the canyon from the western end, where thereâ€™s no official trailâ€¦ as a matter of fact, thereâ€™s a lovely Forest Service sign explaining that thereâ€™s no official trail there, youâ€™re pretty much on your own, watch out for flash floods, and please donâ€™t die. From the bridge, thereâ€™s a well worn path that runs for perhaps 0.5 to 0.75 mile along the banks of the creek. Eventually, the canyon becomes too narrow, and walking on the banks is not possible, and it becomes a boulder hop down the creek bed. Fallen trees and very large boulders make the route a bit challenging. At this point, while the canyon is very pretty, itâ€™s not family friendly or very dog friendly (we had to give ours quite a bit of assistance). Given the amount of scrambling, I donâ€™t think this would be a very fun backpacking trail, but with an early start, I believe this could be easily done as a shuttle hike.

Cathedral Rock Trail No. 170

View from the saddle on Cathedral Rock. Cathedral Rock Trail ascends one of the most recognizable rock formations in the heart of Red Rock Country. Many visitors hike the first quarter mile to enjoy the fantastic views from the first ledge, where the trail meets Templeton Trail. From here, the trail becomes as much a rock climb as a hike, requiring non-technical scrambling up rock faces and ledges to make it to the final ascent to the top. The saddle between two spires offers spectacular views. The unmaintained trail explores the lava and spires at the top. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, February 5, 2014.
