In this short film, edited by Robert Emerson, Dave and Sian share their journey to the saddle of world-famous beauty spot, Cathedral Rock, Sedona, Arizona. They both love this remarkable red sandstone formation, and every time they return to Sedona to visit, they hike it again. It’s not a particularly challenging hike if you are in full health, but Sian has Lyme disease and a genetic kidney disease. She spent a period of her life bedbound, and then housebound. For her, getting back up Cathedral Rock serves as a reaffirmation of her ability to function. Dave offers some tips if you’re visiting Sedona and thinking about undertaking what he describes as ‘the signature Sedona hike’. So share their morning, and the expansive views they enjoy over the seemingly endless plateaus of Northern Arizona.
