Joan Lunden Brings Reveille To New Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain

Joan Lunden, the longtime co-host of ABC's "Good Morning America" who now dedicates much of her career to promoting women's wellness, is taking her "show" on the road. Reveille on the Road, modeled after her highly successful Camp Reveille Summer Getaway in Naples, ME, will debut at The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain, near Tucson, Arizona on April 15-18. Lunden has designed a weekend getaway for women to unwind, share new adventures, partake in spa services and the excellent cuisine of this new luxury resort.

For the past four years, Lunden has hosted Camp Reveille in Maine, a one-weekend summer program offered to women in a relaxing environment filled with energy and camaraderie. At The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain she has planned a three-day program of fitness classes, hikes, and opportunities for women to play like kids again, share experiences and stories with other women, and feel inspired to challenge their limits. Lunden, who not only runs, but fully participates in the weekend girls getaway says, "We all need to take a time-out from our hectic schedules to reconnect with our sense of play, re-commit to our health, and renew our spirits. This weekend is about choice, no requirements, only fun!"

Situated on over 850 acres, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is the perfect place for new adventures. With over 20 miles of hiking trails mapped by National Geographic Traveler, mountain biking through a Saguaro forest, pools, and The Ritz-Carlton Spa and Golf Club are all available at one destination.

Lunden promises an inspirational weekend, drawing from the property's rich Native American history and scenic beauty. Star gazing, s'mores around the campfire, morning walks in the Tortolita Mountains, as well as an array of fitness classes, crafts programs and meditation are part of the expansive offerings.

The Reveille on the Road package at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the new luxury resort at a rate of only $1500 per person, based on double occupancy, and includes accommodations for three nights, all meals and snacks, one spa treatment (choice of a facial, massage or manicure/pedicure), fitness classes, taxes and gratuities. A single occupancy package is available for $1700. To enroll in the April program contact the Reveille office at (914) 219-5555 or online via www.joanlunden.com.
