A 1,300-acre resort in far north Scottsdale (Carefree) set among 12-million-year-old boulder formations — the Boulders is the furthest-flung of the Scottsdale area resorts, with Southwestern adobe casitas, two Jay Morrish-designed championship golf courses, a 33,000-square-foot spa, four pools, and on-site activities including rock climbing and cooking classes. Best for guests who want dramatic desert scenery and seclusion over proximity to Old Town.
