Outta Town Adventures

Some places get known for their towers, waterfalls or skyscrapers, and others get a reputation for being centers of peace, reflection and healing. Sedona's brilliant red rock formations might have been the initial draw, but many tourists seek spiritual refreshment there, as in the carefree areas around Scottsdale, where activities range from rock climbing to walking labyrinths. Joshua Tree, California, is the location of a national park bearing unique trees, but UFO sightings and other phenomena have resulted in annual festivals that celebrate alterative theories.
