Cathedral Rock ~ An Iconic Symbol of Sedona

This iconic symbol attracts tourists and locals alike.  Part of the appeal is the larger-than-life presence.  This impressive work of nature will take your breath away.  It can be seen from all around Sedona and hundreds of hikers traverse the trails around this rock every day.

Besides all the postcards, paintings, and artwork, this image can be found on T-shirts, and mugs, as well as various other knick-knacks and souvenirs.

It also appears on business logos throughout Sedona, as noted (above).

As noted above with the Super Bowl logo, Cathedral Rock is a big part of that logo.  The element of the Arizona State Flag is the rising sun.  Many parts of Arizona see 300 days of sunshine a year.

Looking at the elements of the featured image logo, there is an element of the Arizona Flag incorporated into the logo as well as Cathedral Rock.

I have been blessed to have many listings with a view of Cathedral Rock.  The image above was taken from the rooftop deck of one of my listings.  The image below highlights Cathedral Rock in a window that was designed specifically to showcase Cathedral.  It appears to be a painting on a wall but is a window.

There are many custom-built homes that use a picture frame window to place a spotlight on one of our iconic red rocks. 

The blog below shows many additional and different views of Cathedral.  When you see it from contrasting views it enhances your perspective.

As the Super Bowl airs on Sunday, February 12, 2023, you may see "B" roll as they come back go to or come back from commercials. The "B" roll is video footage that is not the main action.  But many will see the red rocks of Sedona and want to incorporate a visit into their Super Bowl experience.  I will be surprised if Fox Sports does not include some footage in this event.

I love it! After living in AZ for over 28 years I had never heard that saying until now!

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS - I have hiked around Cathedral many years ago but have to go back with my son.  He hikes this area almost weekly especially in the warmer months.

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. - I am so glad to give that local perspective.  When I first came to Sedona, I had no idea. My mouth was in a dropped position most of the time. lol

Hi Brian England - I don't think it can be stated more succinctly and accuratly than that.  It is like the Grand Canyon, pictures do not do it justice.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker - There are a handful of iconic rock formations that stand out in visitors' minds.  But Cathedral Rock seems to be the one that is at the top of the list.  Part of that is the actual hike and the location next to Oak Creek.  There is a swimming hole and a state park near by.

Hi Kat Palmiotti - Though Arizona is known as the "Grand Canyon" state,  The iconic rock formations of Sedona stand out on logos. However, the Saguaro Cactus is always associated with AZ and I am surprised that was not included.

Hi, Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 -  I am glad you got to see the post! Unless you have visited Cathedral and have seen all the different logos that display it, I am not sure how anyone would know it.

Hi Joan Cox - Rick is upset that Coach Peyton didn't pick the Cardinals.  I am sure you are very excited about the Broncos moving forward.  My sister's husband is a huge Broncos fan.

The Broncos were SO bad this year (and last year), I haven't paid much attention, and know nothing about Sean Peyton.    I know most of the coaches are gone now.

Sedona is hands down a spectacular place to enjoy the views, be in nature and hike to your hearts content.  I started hiking there in 1980 and I remember to this day, my first glimpse of red rocks coming around the bend in the road.  SPECTACULAR!   It looked like we were entering a different planet - almost!!  Have a great Super bowl Weekend Sheri and Rick!

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten Phoenix Broker - I only wish I could have seen it in those days.  I didn't even know it existed!  In 1994 it was still a very quiet town that rolled up the streets by 8 PM!  Have a great Superbowl event.

Hey, thanks for sharing these mudguards! I don't need them, but I'm sure someone else in the NorCal area would be interested in them. It's nice to hear that they are in good condition and that the yellow logo matches the CA license plates. Little details like that can make a difference in overall aesthetics. I love doing logos for electrical companies of various Design at https://www.namecheap.com/logo-maker/ideas/electrical-logos/. Anyway, best of luck with the sale, and thanks for offering them at such an affordable price. Seeing how people care about each other in the community is always nice.

Here are some well-known cryptocurrencies along with their symbols and the type of currency they represent. Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital decentralized currency. Ethereum (ETH) - a digital decentralized currency and platform for creating decentralized applications (smart contracts). Ripple (XRP) - a digital decentralized currency and payment protocol for fast and inexpensive international money transfers. Litecoin (LTC) - a digital decentralized currency designed to confirm transactions faster than Bitcoin. Note that the cryptocurrency market is constantly evolving and new cryptocurrencies with their own symbols may appear over time. It is always a good idea to check the symbol of a particular cryptocurrency through reliable sources or cryptocurrency exchanges. After all, there are a lot of scams these days.
