Sedona-Red Rock Country

We rode up to Sedona, "Red Rock Country," on Thursday night. Friday we went on 2 hikes...one around Airport Loop that was about 4-5miles long and fairly flat with just a little bit of up and down. The pic above was really cool b/c as you can see one rock formation is snow topped and the other is not despite being so close together.
In between our 2 hikes, we went to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The only word I can think of to describe it is majestic...it simply brought tears to my eyes. This is a pic from below, but we did go up and into the chapel as well. It is open everyday with only one service on Monday evenings.

This was the view from the top of the hill that the chapel sits on.

This is from the top of our 2nd hike up Cathedral Rock...it was only a mile-long hike, but was straight up and involved a bit of rock climbing skills. I kept thinking...my mother would freak out if she knew I was doing this!

This was the start of our hike up to Cathedral Rock...we hiked WAAYY up there! All in all, Sedona was well worth the trip and was just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
