We took a hike to get a better view of Cathedral Rock. I had read on the internet of a 0.6 mile walk, that went up 600 ft. and was moderate to hike. Views were to be spectacular.
I think the good Lord knew we couldn't make it and we ended up at Cresent Moon Recreational Area and Red Rock Crossing.
We hiked along the river and enjoyed the beauty of the park and the great views of Cathedral Rock.
You could cross the river by these stepping stones.
We passed this water wheel.
These flat stones are said to be a Vortex. In Sedona Vortexes are created, not by wind or water, but from spiraling spiritual energy. The vortexes of Sedona are named because they believe to be spiritual locations where the energy is right to facilitate prayer, mediation and healing. Vortex sites are believed to be locations having energy flow that exists on multiple dimensions. The energy of the vortexes interacts with a person's inner self. For me it was a great place to rest.
We also came across Buddha Beach, which had these piles of rocks.
It was a beautiful walk. Wide path and pretty level.
Next we headed to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. This chapel was inspired and commissioned by sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude. It was built in 18 months at a cost of $300,000. The chapel was completed in 1956.
It was truly beautiful!
Simple structure.
What a view. Could you concentrate on a sermon?
You don't know where to look because there is beauty from back to front.
Views from the Chapel.
We are getting really good at asking strangers to take our pictures. Retirement is tough!!!
