Hiline Trail Description
The Hiline Trail is a fantastic pick for hikers who want to enjoy a picture-perfect view of Cathedral Rock, but with a bit more effort required and a lighter crowd present than other trails. This 8.4mi hike is moderately difficult, letting you get your legs moving without being too demanding. The views are pristine!
Keep an eye out for mountain bikers on this trail, as you’ll need to do on many trails in the Sedona area.
From the trailhead, take Kaibab Trail to Yavapai Vista Trail to Slim Shady Trail. Take a right off slim Shady to Hiline Trail, hugging the base of the ridge above you. You’ll eventually climb up the ridge, which has an amazing view of Cathedral Rock. While the trail continues back down the ridge and ends at Baldwin Crossing Road, most hikers enjoy the viewpoint and then turn around.
If you want to finish out the hike, continue off the ridge and hike around the base of the butte in front of you. The trail then branches south to the road, where it ends.
