Sedona and Oak Creek have some beautiful areas for hiking, at it's a wee bit cooler up there than here in the valley.
So, on that premise, we decided to head up and get some exercise.
We chose the HS Trail (think horses & poop) that branches off of Secret Mountain Trail.
After hiking and eating, we made a side trip to see The Chapel of The Holy Cross, completed in 1956.
It's built into and on top of a large rock formation and the views from it are just great.

Some of the rock formations
The trail winds through woods as it goes up so there's some shade
Now that's a great setting
From the Chapel you get some great views of the surrounding formations
