Photographic Panarama by joebartels Yep, it's a short hike. The rewards come quick. The trail goes down into a ravine and up the butte on the other side. Once on the butte the trail goes left or right. I didn't explore to the right. Instead take the left. As you approach the northeast edge the trail turns to red rock. The pitch of the slope here is steep! You can make it across if you're careful. It's a very short journey to the cave known as the Robbers Roost. Be careful as the red rock is steep. The view is cool, but I think it looks even better in panorama. This isn't much of a hike by itself. It would be a good side trip if you're headed towards Sycamore Canyon. Check out 50 other hikes 2 miles or less in Sedona. Note The first few photos in my set of Cathedral Rock are on the same day, but not from this area.
