Devil's Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area. Don't let its name fool you: it's one of the most heavenly sights in an area famous for them. From a trailhead elevation of 4,600 feet, there's a mere 400 foot climb in altitude during this moderately difficult, 1.8-mile roundtrip trek. The journey to reach the top won't leave you breathless, but the views you'll witness when you finally get there just might. Start hiking early to experience sunrise surrounded by red rocks.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross is an architectural wonder and fully operational place of worship. Sitting high atop the red rocks in Sedona, Arizona, the windows face west with magnificent views of sunset. The Chapel was inspired and commissioned by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude. Richard Hein was chosen as project architect, and the design was executed by architect August K. Strotz. The chapel is built on Coconino National Forest land and was completed in 1956.
