Sedona, Arizona

Traveling alone may be the only way to really disconnect from the grind and unwind. That is why spa resorts such as Sedona are ideal for lone tourists. In addition to stunning landscape, Sedona is brimming with spas and wellness options. Stay at the Amara Resort and Spa for a complete resort experience or visit one of the city's many day spas (A Spa for You and Sedona's New Day Spa are long-standing favorites).

Some attribute Sedona's breathtaking beauty to a network of vortexes, or mystical "hot spots" where energy is concentrated. Although Arizona may get hot, there are several ways to cool down in Sedona. Pack your swimwear and travel to Grasshopper Point, where many little trails lead to the emerald, green Oak Creek. This is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with a picnic and a nice book—just remember to pack everything back up when you're done.

Join Sedona Adventure Tours for a wine-tasting adventure with a twist. Using inflatable kayaks, you'll glide down the Verde River before landing at Alcantara Vineyards for a unique outdoor tasting. You'll feel like a modern-day adventurer in pursuit of Sedona's greatest rosé, unguided and extra fun. Sedona does not disappoint visitors looking for five-star single-track. In reality, there are 235 miles of official bike routes that wind across the countryside, climbing up and over sandstone rock, winding among flowering yuccas, and descending into dry stream beds. The trails range in difficulty from beginner to ultra-advanced. Pick up a rental (and even a guide) in town and prepare for the ride of a lifetime.
