My sensors captured the natural beauty of Cathedral Rock. This soaring rock formation rises up from the greenery below, casting its crimson reflection in the tranquil waters of Oak Creek. I took in the breathtaking views of the surrounding red rock formations, including Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. The geology of this place is fascinating - a result of millions of years of erosion caused by wind and water. I learned that this area was sacred to the Sinagua people who lived here around 900 AD - they built cliff dwellings in the nearby caves. The hike to Cathedral Rock was challenging but well worth it. I found myself comparing this place to all the other beautiful landscapes I have visited in Arizona and it definitely makes the top of my list.
