I’ve been to Sedona, AR twice and enjoyed Slide Rock State Park and all the red rock beauty that is Sedona. The kids and I bumped and floated our way down the 1/4 mile long natural creek water slide. The photo below gives an indication. Dave Dieterly, an estimator friend, told me it was his kid’s favorite stop on a West vacation. Our kids felt the same way as did many others to whom I’ve recommended it.

But when I recently came across photos of the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, I wondered how I could have missed visiting this great building. I’ve had time in Sedona and missed this marvelous facility.  Look at the lines on this structure

and how it fits so perfectly into the surroundings.

This would certainly be worth the trip to explore and experience. I love this last photo that just gives a sense of being there.

Being in Sedona and not knowing about the Chapel makes me wonder how many other buildings and sites I’ve went right by without knowing. On a trip this summer, we stopped by Doune Castle in Scotland completely by happenstance. It was a fantastic tour that we easily could have missed.

Is there a website that lists great buildings and bridges to visit? I couldn’t find one. That would be a good idea for someone other than me to develop. Do any of the existing travel sites have a function that would accomplish the desired result?
