 Baldwin Trail to
Cathedral Rock

|||||||||||||||
| The Baldwin Trail starts across the road from the Red Rock Crossing (Crescent Moon) parking area near the end of the Verde Valley School Road. It heads east and soon drops down a bit to the valley floor, near but out of sight of the creek. At 1/2 mile, it meets the end of the Templeton Trail. The Baldwin Trail forks sharply right and climbs moderately through a draw between Cathedral Rock and a red rock butte. Nice views of Cathedral Rock and back to Wilson Mountain. It levels out and then begins a gradual descent to the southwest and ends at Verde Valley School Road at 1.6 miles. (Hike House University preferred route is to access Cathedral from 179/Back O’ Beyond Road. Go up Cathedral 1/4 of the way, go right on Templeton, drop down in slot canyon which leads to Oak Creek. Trail then intersects the Baldwin Trail which is a loop trail bringing you back to intersection.) | |||||||||||||||

Baldwin Trail to Cathedral Rock
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 By 3 Comments
The staff at The Hike House recommended the trail, as I had failed to pack my hiking shoes. A great trail for walking in flipflops
If I had my shoes, I would have done far more hiking as the experience we had was awesome. The trails were well groomed and maintained and easy to followed. Views were breathtaking and lots of kodak moments. Anxious to return to Sedona and really experience the area with more hikes and biking! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the cookies were yummy! Purchased a few before I left Sedona and brought them home to GA.
Great variability in this trail. Up and down hills and wonderful views of the back of Cathedral Rock.
I am 10 years old and I went on the Baldwin trail with my mom, dad and sister. It was pretty easy and the creek was cool. I climbed down a small ravine. We also saw a great view of Cathedral Rock. The man (Mike?) at Hike House helped us pick the trails we went on!!
