The Two Nuns are a pair of striking red rock formations that naturally resemble two nuns wearing traditional habits. Located near the Chapel of the Holy Cross, they are best viewed from the chapel's parking area or its glass-walled sanctuary. The formations stand as a serene complement to the chapel's modern architecture, inviting contemplation and photography. Visitors often pause to appreciate the whimsical natural sculpture against the backdrop of Sedona's iconic red cliffs.
