Things to Do in Sedona
-
-
Chapel of the Holy Cross
The Chapel of the Holy Cross rises straight out of Sedona’s red rock buttes — it’s one of the few roadside stops that actually earns the detour.
-
Devil’s Bridge
Devil’s Bridge is the largest sandstone arch near Sedona — the 1.8-mile hike is moderate, but standing on it with Red Rock views in every direction is not.
-
Bell Rock
Bell Rock sits right off Highway 179 — no long trail required. The vortex reputation draws the crowds, but the views justify the stop on their own.
-
Cathedral Rock
Cathedral Rock earns its reputation — the scramble up is genuinely tough, but that vortex energy and 360° red rock panorama make it Sedona’s most rewarding hike.
