Sedona
One of the most beautiful spots in America is frequently used to describe Sedona. You won't find a scenery anywhere else that is as vividly colored. For years, both established painters and aspiring newcomers have been drawn to the area's towering red cliffs and angular sandstone buttes set against an almost perpetually blue sky. Additionally, these blazing rock formations in north-central Arizona served as the setting for blockbuster films including "3:10 to Yuma," "Broken Arrow," and "Midnight Run."
However, Sedona is more than just attractive red rocks. Spiritualists have come to the area in recent years to take advantage of the various New Age "vortexes" that are said to have spirit-balancing properties that can be discovered there. Still looking for a solution to quench your yen? Plan a spa day for the day in Sedona. A bottle of local wine and a traditional treatment like a red clay wrap or blue corn body scrub are excellent ways to unwind after a strenuous day of hiking. Oh, and did we also mention that there are more than 100 hiking routes in the area? Please remember to bring your boots! Another well-liked choice is taking a supervised Jeep tour to explore the woods.
