Chapel of the Holy Cross

Nushrat Humaira

(December 2021 travel story)We took the guided bus tour to the chapel of holy cross. there are specific times to get on the tour so please make sure not to miss one. On the way to chapel it has heavily traffic and hard to find parking so I think it is better to use the bus but lots of people go by their own vehicle as well. Once at the chapel the bust won't stay for long so make sure to check your time. There are no public restrooms, gift shop is under the chapel. View from the chapel is worth exploring from every corner.

One of the most beautiful churches around! Iconic how it is embedded into the landscape and makes for a wonderful landmark throughout Sedona. The views are stunning! The inside of the church is gorgeous! Seeing the cross inside on the large window is epic and a sight to behold!! Be prepared to hike and walk as parking is limited and the road can be crowded. An option to avoid driving and parking is to take one of the jeep tour packages. Great gift shop as well!

Beautiful views surrounded by red mountains of rock.The chapel is a triumph of architecture in its simplicity and beauty building around the the perfect spots. I sense a feeling of holy and joy upon entering the church . I am not a Catholic but would still highly recommend fighting the crowds to see and experience the glory of the chapel. Outside is breath taking views filled with fresh air, i highly recommend packing extra water bottle or two and apply sun screen before visiting because the sun light can be a pretty hot.

Absolutely beautiful! There were a lot of people given that COVID is still an issue, so make sure to bring a mask. There is a catholic gift shop in the church. Might be a good idea to park outside of the entrance and walk up if you are going to hike Little Horse from here after going to see the church. especially if you are going a bit later so you don’t get locked in the gates after closing.
