Northwest Face of Sedona's Cathedral Rock

This is my wife's favorite of the photos that I took during our helicopter ride around Sedona, Arizona on January 24, 2023. In the foreground are the northern peak of Cathedral Rock, whose elevation is 4922 feet (1500 m), Cathedral Rock's middle prominences, and its southern peak, elevation 4955' (1510 m). Prominent landmarks on the horizon behind Cathedral Rock, with their respective elevations and distances from Cathedral Rock's northern peak, are (left-to-right): (#1) Apache Maid Mountain, elev. 7307' (2227 m), 15.7 mi (25.3 km); (#2) Courthouse Butte, elev. 5440' (1658 m), 3.0 mi (4.7 km); (#3) Round Mountain, elev. 6329' (1929 m), 12.1 mi (19.5 km); (#4) Hog Hill, elev. 6700' (2042 m), 14.9 mi (24.0 km); (#5) Yavapai Point, elev. 5246' (1599 m), 1.8 mi (2.9 km); (#6) Castle Rock, elev. 5258' (1602 m), 2.5 mi (4.0 km).
