Red Arizona

Celebrated for its New Age &lsquoenergy vortexes&rsquo, the town of Sedona, Arizona (www.visitsedona.com) exerts a heavy pull on spiritual searchers who want to step out of modern life. Surrounded by spectacular red rock cliff formations, Sedona offers art lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike a place to indulge their passions. The ever-changing desert light has earned the town its reputation as one of America&rsquos most beautiful places, and just about anywhere you look, you can find a breathtaking view &mdash you don&rsquot even necessarily have to be outside. Boutiques and art galleries carry flowing cotton apparel, exquisite paintings, Western curios and Native American crafts. You can also take a four-wheel-drive tour of the surrounding hills, or head out on foot or by mountain bike to explore the postcard-worthy landscape.
