Crisp mountain air, fresh-picked food and skies showing stars make me feel better just thinking about finding some of them.

Hunting for a place to help me stay better as I faced up to my 60th birthday dominated my April travel agenda and my quest worked out, not too far north of Atlanta. The air, stars, fruits and veggies turned out to be extras.

Two resorts with different personalities in Georgia’s mountains each present good-health things to do all in one place, not far from one another, under rustic roofs and starry skies. I checked them both out carefully and plan to immerse myself in their regimens long before the next birthday arrives.

One’s a 1920s-style reproduction farmhouse with rolling hills, big views, meditative gardens, spa treatments, private cabins, yoga classes and a chef who believes in fresh.

The other’s a brand-new wellness center in 140 wilderness acres in a well-established luxury resort near the ancient site of a Cherokee village. At this one, if I pay a little attention, I can re-create what I learn there at home because this is all about sustainability, about staying well.

Either one, you can leave the car parked and engage in a wide range of spa treatments, walks-in-the-woods, fine meals, calm moments, hot tub soaks, yoga classes and sitting and staring at the vista.

All good for turning 60 and preparing to be a healthy 70, and all good for being any age. Good too with a traveling partner and husband like mine who has yet to find his way to a yoga class; plenty of fishing and reading time and good food for him to be happy too.

For unusual diversion, there are 300 kangaroos down the road in a conservation center and the nine different species can be seen in a walkabout or guided tour on an open truck. Baby ‘roos in pouches too.

Probably that’s healthy as an outdoor adventure, but my focus was on realigning my lifestyle for the days and decades ahead.

Blueberry Hill is the location of the replica farmhouse complex called Pura Vida USA in Dahlonega, a pretty good omen for me that somebody would be paying attention to good food and anti-aging anti-oxidants.

Pura Vida, which means pure life, takes a minimalist view: neither television nor telephone in the farmhouse rooms or cabins and meals are vegetarian, with fish and chicken available if preferred.

WiFi works fine throughout the property and cell phones picked up signals too; Dahlonega has plenty of fine chefs who cook beef if that matters to traveling companions.

Vegetarian’s good for the rest of us who are glad to stretch and bend and breathe deeply in the 1,400-square-foot yoga hall, lined with windows facing the Blue Ridge Mountains. Classes happen Friday, Saturday and Sunday for $12 per session.

Come with a group instead of just yourself and you can arrange yoga other days too. Eighteen guest rooms are available between the farmhouse and cabins so retreats, wedding parties and friend getaways can fit easily.

I never watch anyone else’s poses in a yoga class; it’s quite enough to balance on one foot with my eyes straight ahead and arms raised, but this Chattahoochee National Forest view calls for some daydreaming during class, and later.
