Itinerary
The chapel was inspired and commissioned by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who had been inspired in 1932 by the newly constructed Empire State Building to build such a church. After an attempt to do so in Budapest, Hungary (with the help of Lloyd Wright, son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright) was aborted due to the outbreak of World War II, she decided to build the church in her native region.
Cathedral Rock is a natural landmark on the Sedona, Arizona skyline, and is one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona, USA.[3] Cathedral Rock is located in the Coconino National Forest in Yavapai County, about a mile (1.6 km) west of Arizona Route 179, and about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the "Y" intersection of Routes 179 and 89A in uptown Sedona. The summit elevation of Cathedral Rock is 4,967 feet (1,514 m).
Bell Rock is a popular tourist attraction just north of the Village of Oak Creek, Arizona, south of Sedona in Yavapai County. With an elevation at its summit of 4,919 feet (1,499 m), it is just west of Courthouse Butte. Geologically, Bell Rock is a butte, composed of horizontally bedded sedimentary rock of the Permian Supai Formation.
Oak Creek Canyon is a river gorge located in northern Arizona between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona. The canyon is often described as a smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon because of its scenic beauty. State Route 89A enters the canyon on its north end via a series of hairpin turns before traversing the bottom of the canyon for about 13 miles (21 km) until the highway enters the town of Sedona. The Oak Creek Canyon – Sedona area is second only to Grand Canyon as the most popular tourist destination in Arizona.
The vistas are breathtaking from this mesa of red rock formations like "Coffee Pot", "Submarine Rock" and "Thunder Mountain". Take lots of memorable pictures!

The private tour was well worth the additional cost. Miguel did a great job of explaining the history of the Sedona area. He added information about all of the different activities that are available in the area, along with restaurant recommendations. Made our trip to Sedona a much better experience.
Thank you for the nice review. We really appreciate hearing about the experiences our guests have.
We booked a private tour and our guide Lisa was wonderful. She provided a customized tour of key sites - Chapel of the Holy Cross, Airport Vista Overlook, Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park, Red Rock State Park and Scenic Loop. She shared both the geological history of how these formations came to be and the history of the people who lived in and visited Sedona as well as other nearby areas. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for the nice review. We will pass it onto Lisa.

We booked this tour on-line while visiting Arizona for the first time, unsure if it was wise. It turned out it was the best decision we made. Our tour guide Bob, arrived early and welcomed us with a smile. His wealth of information is incomparable and Bob happily gives advice on every aspect of Arizona. After spending a few short hours with "our" Bob we consider him family and booked our next tour of the Grand Canyon with him!! Highly highly recommend!!
Thank you for this wonderful review. We are always looking for feedback from our guests.
We had a fantastic time touring beautiful Sedona with “Famous” Bob, our guide! As a long time resident of Sedona and a life-long outdoor enthusiast, Bob is uniquely qualified to share his love for and experiences of Sedona. Sprinkling in perfect doses of geology, history, and humor while safely driving us to all the must-see areas, Bob provided us with a great tour. Need a recommendation for places to eat? …the best routes to take on your own drive? …some great local wine? Bob is your guy! Would have loved to have booked a Grand Canyon tour with him as well… Can’t recommend highly enough! Thanks again for the great day, Bob!
What a wonderful review. Thank you. We are really happy you enjoyed the day.
