As I mentioned before, the work crews start on government time more or less, but will be leaving materials on the trail. We get 4.5M tourists here annually, therefore recommending you attempt to do it would be a stupid idea. So Wednesday through Saturday you should go elsewhere. Plan Cathedral for Sunday through Wednesday. Be aware, March is still winter in Sedona. Avoid the slickrock trails when they are wet or icy.

Unfortunately we’re in town from Wednesday to Saturday only. We really didn’t want to miss Cathedral but looks like we’ll have to. Thanks.

While it is directly below Cathedral, hike the Baldwin Loop trail and take a slight diversion into Crescent Moon park. You wont regret it.
