These pages are just a small part of what Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon have to offer. For our 20th Wedding anniversary, Mary Ann and I spent three days in Sedona, and only scratched the surface. We have been there many times (usually taking friends and family along), but this time I brought along my digital camera! As we continue our future visits, I will add to these pages. Enjoy!

This is the chapel of the Holy Cross, located in central Sedona. It is a chapel built into the side of a mountain and is perhaps the most beautiful spot in Sedona - but that's difficult to say because ALL of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon is beautiful.

Once you've taken the walkway up to the chapel, this is just one of the breathtaking views from the top. The left butte is called "Courthouse Rock" and center is named "Bell Rock". You can see a storm brewing just to the right of Bell Rock.

This is another view from the Chapel - these photos can't do this justice - it is a panorama of exquisite beauty that one must experience.

Here is a close up of Courthouse Rock I took on the way home. Unfortunately, it was overcast, and the brilliant reds of the sandstone and mud stone are not as vivid. Again, this too must be seen with your own eyes.

 

Cathedral Rock at Crescent Valley Moon State Park

This incredible edifice is known as Cathedral Rock. It towers majestically over Crescent Moon Valley. You can hike up to the base of the structure - and on the east side you can hike up to the saddle between the mountains.
