The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic Chapel built into the mesas of Sedona, Arizona, which was inspired and commissioned by sculpture Marguerite Brunswig Staude. Built on a twin pinnacled spur about 250 feet high, jutting out of a thousand foot red rock wall, “solid as the Rock of Peter” the building of the Chapel was completed in April 1956. Just the physical constructions to construct this chapel.

A feature on the Soldier Pass hiking trail. The Seven Sacred Pools are a series of shallow ponds cut from the sandstone canyon that reflect the bright blue Arizona skies. In the same hiking area as Devil’s Kitchen, Arizona’s largest sinkhole.
Devil’s Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area; don’t let its name fool you: It’s one of the most heavenly sights in an area famous for them. From a trailhead elevation of 4,600 feet, there’s a mere 400 foot climb in altitude during this moderately difficult, 1.8-mile roundtrip trek. Starting at the parking area, follow the trailmarker that points the way to Devil’s Bridge Trail. The trail, originally built for jeep travel, is smooth and clear and leads you through washes filled with juniper and prickly pear cactus. The slightly inclines uphill, increasing as you progress. After about three-quarters of a mile from the parking area, the trail will divide. Head down the path to the left and you’ll end up at the base of the bridge. For a cool view, stand directly under the 50 foot high arch and look up. Follow it up a steep, natural rock staircase to for some fantastic views. Keep going, and you’ll reach another level that leads directly to Devil’s Bridge.

This one of the hardest hikes in Sedona so be prepared. 1300 ft. Elevation Min. 6.25 mi. & 4.5 hrs. Max 9 mi. & 5.5 hrs. How to find the Sedona windows: you can access the windows in two ways, which depends if you have a high clearance 4x4 or not, both options will be covered below. Schnebly Hill Rd is rough terrain. If you don’t have a suitable vehicle, it will be around 3 miles and an hour or so of time. Start at the Munds Wagon Trailhead and hike up alongside Schebly Road for the most part. After 1.2 miles you will pass picnic tables and around 1.6 miles you will see the trail sign pointing to take left to follow Hangover Trail, where you will start the loop. The trail is very easy to follow up to the trail that breaks off to the windows. As you go along you can see Probiscus Arch and the Windows as you slowly get closer to them.
About one mile into Hangover and at 2.6 miles total is where you will see a small trail going left that leads to the windows. 5-10 seconds after that left is another left that will take you up to the Windows and from there just try to find the path of least resistance. The first window you will see at Probiscus Arch and then you can find the other side of the arch (south side) and following it along. You will then run into this double window arch and just beyond that a couple more await. One window does require moutain climbing gear to access. Once you come back down from the Windows, start following the path again to the left. Follow the white marks closely as you will soon ascend up the rock and come back in front of Queen Victoria before looping back around behind it. You will complete the loop around Hangover Trail to Cowpied back to Munds Wagon and down to your parking spot.
