Pass Though Sedona on the Way to Phoenix

After taking the scenic route through Oak Creek Canyon, it's time for breakfast in one of Sedona's best restaurants. The Secret Garden Cafe sits among a well-manicured garden with ample patio seating in the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village.
Everything on the menu is made from scratch, featuring carefully sourced local ingredients. Try an omelette or quiche made with cage-free eggs. The French Toast is full of flavor, with thick sourdough slices dipped in a Grand Marnier batter before cooking. Sip on local Fire Creek coffee, espresso or cold brew on tap.

You'll drive south through the city of Sedona, surrounded by gorgeous sandstone formations. Pay a visit to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The Roman Catholic place of worship was built into the red rocks in the 1950s to take advantage of the colorful natural landscapes.
Parking is available in a small nearby lot with a short, but steep walk to where the chapel is perched. You'll appreciate the magnificent views of the Coconino National Forest and may even feel an added sense of serenity since the location is believed to be in a vortex. The chapel itself welcomes worshipers and encourages visitors to be respectful of those practicing their religion. A gift shop is open downstairs.
