We actually saved this till one of the last things on our stay and I wish we had gone sooner. The view from here is just stunning, the most beautiful spot I think and the church overlooks the city and the basement has a gift shop. Make sure you take time to go here. You don't have to stay long. More

Not far away from Sedona center, this nice chapel is facing impressive red rocks. Short walk or electric karts by volunteers! Go there at sunset. Parking is a bit limited. More

It's interesting to see how the church was built into the rock. What detracts is the huge estate that has been built just below the church. Everyone ends up spending time looking at that instead! More

we were there during the week, in mid may, so it wasn't busy. The ramp is steep for someone trying to navigate thier own wheelchair, help is needed and handicap parking is at base of ramp. More

Went later in the afternoon, close to 5:00 pm and there was not too much traffic and ample parking. What a beautiful sight. Take pictures inside and out, you will not be sorry. More

If you are travelling around the Sedona area a stop at the Chapel of the Holy Cross is well worth it. The architecture is amazing and the view is as well. We would have enjoyed being there for a service, but our timing did not permit it. The ambiance of the location, scenery, and overall atmosphere make it spiritually uplifting.... More
