Bre BoleyVisiting Sedona has been on my bucket-list for many years now, more specifically Cathedral Rock. I remember looking at pictures on google and just being in awe. Sometimes you forget the incredible world we live in with all the chaos always happening. I knew that pictures never do anything justice but this occasion especially. Upon arriving in even just the town of Sedona, it's the cutest little town. They have all these shops up and down the streets and don't even get me started on the houses there... ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful hike up to Cathedral Rock, not going to lie, it was honestly pretty breathtaking... literally i was out of breath haha. But I promise, it is well worth it once you get to the top. I thought we had reached the top on like 4 different occasions. It felt like a 30 mile hike when in reality it was only like 2 lol, but it was pretty steep. Like when you think you have gone to the top... just keep going. HA. Anyways, if you plan on going, you should do research on the vortexes in Sedona because you will come to find out the reason the trees that you see on the way up slowly start becoming more and more interesting to look at. By that, I mean the forces and energy are so strong the further you go up that it literally makes the trees start growing in a spiral formation. I'm talking about the entire truck of the tree. It's mad. This trip was definitely one to remember and I hope whoever it reading this takes my word on top 10 places in the world you should see before you die. You feel like the smallest thing in the world when you get to the top but you literally feel so empowered first by the fact that you survived a hike that you thought you might pass out on and secondly because it puts live into perspective. When you are at the top, it literally feels like the world stops. Like nothing matters expect you just being present that that exact moment. you are exactly where you are suppose to be.
