We took a flight from California and were in Arizona within a hour we then hired a car from Arizona Phoenix Airport it was nearly a 200 km drive to Sedona just over 2 hours and enjoying the stunning red rock views and the natural attractions along the way.
We had made reservations at Buttes Marriott Resort a beautiful peaceful resort with 2 outdoor pools and spas with tremendous views.
One would say what makes Sedona so special well it has the most beautiful red rocks with majestic sceneries it has a evergreen vegetation and it's a very spiritual town well known for people coming to Sedona for prayer, meditation, and healing.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is built up amongst these beautiful red rock formations offering you spectacular views and it felt so sacred and spiritual up there just walking around the chapel grounds felt so serene.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross was just breathtaking from the moment we arrived seeing it on top of them red rocks , as you walking up the hill admiring the architectural design and as soon as you enter this chapel you will see how special this chapel really is it's like your facing the heavens it was such a peaceful feeling , inside the Chapel it has some really beautiful artwork along the walls and if you wish you can light up a candle and say a prayer.
There are many outdoor adventures to be done here in this town of Sedona like mountain biking, hiking, and off road tours in ATV's or Jeeps we took a jeep tour as we were not going to be here long enough to go hiking with the off road jeep we got to see the many evergreen vegetation around the red rocks the amounts of beautiful and unusual Cactuses were amazing and been spring season many were flowering or had flowered already.
Honestly i couldn't stop admiring these beautiful Cactuses so many shapes , sizes and colors they were just all stunning to look at , i would not have liked to fallen on any of them 😨
Sedona town itself was pretty lively bustling downtown and has a very vibrant arts community but the main attraction of Sedona town is the surreal, red rock landscape like Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock and many more all visible from anywhere in town.
For a population of about 12,000 in this town there are certainly a lots of great restaurants , galleries, candy and jewelry shops if you are here at the special seasons they have many fun festivals. They say from March to May is the best time to visit Sedona the temperatures are warm but not scorching and the area is in full bloom adding more color to this beautiful town.
