Escapes: Seeing Red

The setting is incomparable, a rugged landscape marked with sharp cliffs and deep canyons. But anyone who has visited Red Mountain, the resort and spa in Utah’s red rock country, knows that the offerings are so much richer than what you see on the surface, gorgeous though that may be. With Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks nearby, and Snow Canyon, a state park, literally down the road—the property is renowned for its fitness focus.
In addition to stellar hiking, biking, yoga, wild-horse sightings and star-gazing, there is a brand-new offering: the Rejuvenate & LiVe Well Retreat, a five-day retreat that kicks off with a personalized health plan from experts at the Intermountain Healthcare LiVe Well Center, in St. George, UT. The plan is then put into practice at the resort, with private training sessions, wellness classes and spa treatments geared toward helping you get on track to meet your fitness goals. Even better: it includes three follow-up custom coaching sessions, via phone or email, to keep you on the straight and narrow after you get back home. redmountainresort.com
