12. The Chapel of the Holy Cross
This famous chapel is ensconced amidst a backdrop of huge red rocks so typical of this part of the state. It was created by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s students, Marguerite Brunswig Staude, in 1956. Staude wanted to build something that would be a tribute to the Catholic Church.
She saw the scarlet rocks and knew this was the ideal location. The best time to visit is when the sun’s rays hit the stained-glass windows. You don’t need to be a Christian to be impressed by this place.
13. The Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park
Yes, Virginia, there is a Buddhist in Arizona . . . more than one apparently. Stupas like this one are like those located in Asia. Indeed, it is reminiscent of those constructed more than 2,500 years ago. Of course, this particular stupa is surrounded by verdant pines and smaller red spires.
It has been a popular tourist stop since 2004. This stupa is only 36 feet tall. You can visit any time between sunrise and sunset. Admission is free but donations are welcome.
