ARIZONA UNPLUGGED RESTFUL RETREATS FOR A DIGITAL DETOX Think back to your last va-cation. Perhaps there was a beach or a spa or snow-skiing. Most certainly, there was a smartphone involved. (For a few overworked souls, there may have even been a laptop.) Yet for all the pervasiveness of digital devices, the pendulum is beginning to swing the other way. Tech-free retreats are the new “it” vacations, and it sounds like it’s just in time—we all could use a digital detox. Disconnect for awhile and recharge your mind at these quiet escapes throughout Arizona’s remote landscapes, where the scenery is far superior to the cell reception. Escape to a Southwestern para-dise with your own private casita at the base of Boynton Canyon when you stay at Sedona’s Enchantment Resort , where blazing red rock, aquamarine swimming pools and vibrant green tennis courts set the scene for visual splendor. You won’t even notice the limited cell phone signal, as you’ll find plenty of ways to stay occupied: hiking Boynton Canyon Trail through an energy vortex, marveling at the soaring Fay Canyon Arch, mountain biking through miles of desert trails, teeing off at the exclusive 18-hole, Tom Weiskopf-designed course at Seven Canyons Golf Club and taking part in mind-body experiences such as Qi Gong and Vinyasa yoga. At the end of your day, use all your senses at Che Ah Chi restaurant, featuring American Indian-influenced cuisine, an award-winning wine list and awe-inspiring views of red rock canyon walls. Also in the area is Junipine Resort , a quiet escape with private condo-style accommo-dations amid the forests of Oak Creek Canyon, about 8 miles from the artisan shops and gourmet eateries of downtown Sedona.
