After my hike at the West Fork of Oak Creek was cut short because I chickened out crossing the cold creek after a near fall at the fourth crossing, I headed over to Cathedral rock. Parking area was packed as usual. I ran into many people coming down, but when I reached the saddle I had it to myself for almost 45 minutes. Took some nice shots as the sun was setting and did a little exploring to the area to the left. At about six a small group came and sat in a circle and began a meditation ceremony. They were perfectly quiet outside of occasionally ringing a small bell. Not wanting to disturb the mood or risk being sacrificed to the red rock gods

I ever so quietly retreated back down the trail. Vortex or not, Cathedral Rock always lifts my spirits and touches my soul.
