If you've ever considered shunning modern society and living off of the land, you're in luck. Believe it or not, Sedona, Arizona is home to one of the best cities to go off the grid in America! Sedona is a nature lover's paradise, with sweeping red rock vistas and world-class hiking trails, and you won't miss modern life at all if you decide to make your home there.
With its pervasive wellness culture, thriving art scene, and natural beauty, Sedona has long been a hub for counterculture types.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Livability considers the modern-day hippie enclave one of the best places in the U.S. to live off the grid.
The small town of just over 10,000 is situated in the heart of Arizona's Red Rock Country, surrounded by towering, burnt orange bluffs whose peaks stretch high up into the clouds. Sedona is also the unofficial "hiking capital" of the state, with world-class trails — including the iconic Devils Bridge Trail, pictured above — scattered all over town.
For residents of Sedona, nature is, quite literally, their backyard. Between the red rocks and dense forests that offer a stark contrast to the deep auburn hues, the entire city looks like a painting. It's easy to unplug when your reality is more eye-catching than anything your phone could possibly have to offer.
Sedona is also a great place to become more cultured with art galleries, quaint shopping districts, and award-winning cuisine from all over the globe. With so many things to pique your interest, leaving behind the fast pace of today's world seems almost effortless.
The town even has a tiny house glamping retreat, TinyCamp, where you can enjoy a luxurious getaway under the stars and red rocks.
If you aren't quite ready to take the plunge and go off the grid full-time, TinyCamp's four custom homes tucked away in Oak Creek Canyon emphasize sustainability without sacrificing some of the creature comforts you know and love.
