After passing through the path to the Chapel of the Holy Cross, soon we will be right with the red mountains and the Cathedral Rock, with its pinnacles upright.

In order to enjoy the panoramic view and can photograph the most famous places such as Cathedral Rock at Red Mountain, from the banks of Oak Creek River, we go down the road from Sedona 89A, and we turn left onto the High Road Red Rock Loop to the playground Crescent.

From this, the path to the red mountain Cathedral Rock and the return to our accommodation we will go about two miles, albeit with a drop of nearly 200 meters.
 
The Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona:

One of the views that we can do in Sedona, Arizona, is to go to the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a small chapel with an original building of modern architecture, embedded in the reddish mountain, which has a front design with a simulated cross.

Built in 1956, the Catholic chapel shows its peak during the evening. From the front area, we have to design a large window that allows entry of large amount of light inside.
