Third time there - and each time it takes my breath away. No trip to Sedona is complete without a visit here

Really like the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It is well integrated with the red rocks surrounding it and not as easy to spot as you might think. Please go inside if you can as the view is breath taking from the big front windows. Really worth a visit

This is a humble church but somehow the energy and Holy Presence is amplified by the breathtaking scenery around it. You simply must see it for yourself

I love going there becausenofnthe peaceful feeling I get when I visit dispute all the tourist. It is a beautiful chapel built in the red rocks. It is an A frame with a glass all that over looks the red rocks. You do have to walk up hill but it is well worth it.

Ohhhh, this place was gorgeous!!! This was one of the first places we went during our visit to Sedona, and it was a fantastic place to start. You can see for miles from the chapel, and the combination of red rocks and blue sky is just stunning. It's super easy to get to and park, and it doesn't require any... More

Although the Chapel itself was nothing special, the view through the windows behind the altar area was spectacular. In fact, the views of the rocks and city all along the pathway to the top were wonderful. The only downside is that the walk is fairly long and steep from the parking area to the chapel unless you have a handicapped... More

A definite worth seeing. We lost my husbands brother the day before our visit, It was a wonderful place to pray and light a candle. It brought so much peace to us. It is incredible from the giant cross on the outside of the building to the quiet, peaceful, beatiful inside. A true place to meditate and pray. I want... More

The chapel is located high on the side of a butte. It is built of red stone in an A-frame style. Pretty accessible but parking is limited and it is pretty congested. The view of the Sedona landscape is stunning save for a garish Venetian-style mansion right below the chapel.
