Cathedral Rock Ahead The Path Behind In Sedona, two paths diverged in the woods and we chose the Baldwin Trail .   It is rated moderate -- perfect for two middle-aged women (the Nancy’s squared) on the loose in the wilderness.  Armed with our trekking poles and cameras (and water!), we set off into the wilderness for the loop around Cathedral Rock.  A rise of about 200 feet seemed more achievable than the 600-foot scramble up the Cathedral Rock Trail and so it was.  It’s exhilarating to hike on a sunny, cool day through a landscape that offers both magnificent vistas and cool forest paths. They say that Sedona is a mystical place with vortexes of spiritual energy dotting the landscape.  I can’t say that I channeled a vortex but for sure the magic got under my skin and into my soul.  It is hard to put into words.  Perhaps it is the red rocks rising majestically up into the sky – all rounded corners and fantastical spires....
