THE SIGHTS OF SEDONA

On Christmas 2023, my family went to Sedona, for the first time. When I arrived, I saw enormous, red mountains that looked completely different from the ones in Tucson. My favorite part was visiting a church in a mountain, called the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The church had huge windows and looked like a combination of triangular and rectangular shapes. Inside the church, it felt very peaceful. I noticed a six-foot tall crucifix, some holy water, and biblical paintings.

My family and I don’t camp or hike, but we still liked Sedona. It was a beautiful and interesting place that made me want to explore the outdoors more! You can visit Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Slide Rock and Redrock State Parks.

Sedona wasn’t perfect. There isn’t much to do there except camping or hiking. Also, it is far away from other Arizona cities. It is a one hour drive from Phoenix. It took four hours to get to Sedona from Tucson. Although to me Sedona has some downsides, it’s still a great place to explore the outdoors. Whether you love camping or just want to take pictures I recommend visiting Sedona anytime!
