Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

The luxurious Red Mountain Resort, nestled in the ethereal red mountains of St. George, UT, has the perfect gift for yourself, your best friends, and…man's best friends. The eight-hour Best Friends Animal Sanctuary Volunteer Experience includes a scenic hike and lunch in Zion National Park, but the highlight is playing with and helping care for some of the 2,000 dogs and cats who shelter at Best Friends Animal Society. It's a great way to bond with the beauty of nature, some furry friends, and each other. (redmountainspa.com, $129 per person)
