Feb.14th- After spending a week in Apache Junction with Larry and Lori we headed north to Sedona AZ. Sedona is situated in the high country just south of Flagstaff. A number of people had told us that Sedona is a “must-see” but we weren't really prepared for the natural beauty of the area. 
The houses are all Santa Fe style and tucked into pockets of greenery so none compete with the spectacular scenery.
As we entered the city, we began to see monolithic mountains and red rock formations.
Towering cliffs, unique formations and a palette of rich colors.
The design and color of the roads blend in with the surrounding landscape. 
The shape and beauty of the rock formations defy description.
View from Chapel Drive. 
The Chapel of the Holy Cross, a beautiful chapel built on a twin pinnacled spur about 250 feet high, jutting out of a thousand foot red rock wall. It's hard to believe this modern looking structure was built in 1956. 
The guardians of the Chapel.
A cactus garden bordering the chapel grounds. 
An Angel in the garden.
The view from inside the church.
