We had been searching the red rocks since we arrived, wondering when we would see the Chapel. After a short drive from uptown Sedona, the Chapel appeared as we rounded one of the huge rocks. What a stunning scene. We drove up to the parking lot, and were amazed how helpful the chapel people were, in finding a vacant spot.... more

It was a beautiful sunny day when I visited Chapel of the Holy Cross, with the warm wind blowing on my face while I strode to the top of the incline. I walked very slowly, partly because it is quite a hike up, but mostly to soak in the views on the journey up. I lingered on the veranda at... more

Each time I travel to AZ I make sure I visit this chapel no matter where in AZ I'm visiting. Just returned from there in May 2008 after visiting family in Phoenix. I had to drive up to Sedona just to visit this chapel, you come away with such an overwhelming sense of spiritual renewal. It's not just the awesome... more

The Chapel of the Holy Cross was absolutely amazing. We were recently in AZ for a 10 day vacation and this was one of our favorite stops. My wife and I are not crazy religious but it was a fantastic site. The Sanctuary is breathtaking we lit candles for people that we wanted to remember. Hit the gift shop in... more

This couldn't be more of a beautiful setting for such a cathredral. The views are incredible, and can be a very peaceful place when you go at the right time, avoiding a horde of visitors. We were able to sit for several minutes in silence in the chapel. We were unable to light a candle, since they were all burned... more

I was hesitant on seeing this attraction but after we did it was so inspiring and you might not see anything like it. Its amazing to see the inside and the gift shop is great too. The views are amazing from all the way around. more

The church, as you can see from the photos, is nestled right in the red rock cliffs of Sedona. While the building itself is architecturally unique, the surrounding hillside is astounding. Well worth going a few extra miles out of town to take it all in. The inside of the building isn't as amazing as it's exterior but the views... more

This is one of the the most beautiful churches in the United States. The view from the chapel is beyond description. It is very peaceful and relaxing to go into the chapel and look at the vista below. Visting this chapel is a must if you are in the Sedona area. The parking can be difficult and it is a... more

I visited the chael today and I agree with the other reviewers, it's defnitely worth the trip. The views from there are absolutely outstanding, especially at sunset. The chapel itself is fairly small - surprising considering its massive appearance built into the rocks. There's a truly unique gift shop downstairs, filled with crosses, rosaries and unique souvenirs. Parking is a... more

The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a lovely place to come for contemplation and a touch of spirituality, no matter what your faith is. We visited there on our recent trip to Sedona, and loved this little chapel. It is nestled among the red rocks, the history of the building of the chapel is quite interesting, and we found... more
