Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa

"Located in southwest Colorado just a short drive from Grand Junction and along the Utah border, Gateways Canyons is one of Colorado’s most luxurious resorts and hard to miss, flagged by the giant and deeply hued red rocks surrounding the resort. The 6,000-acres of land the hotel is situated on was once used by ranching families to support the mining community in the 1800s. Gateway Canyons plays host to classic ranching activities (scenic tours on horseback, cowboy school and hiking) but it also has a rich history of Native American culture and a huge number of fossils and dinosaur footprints you can discover nearby. In addition to the resort (including an expansive spa), the resort has a classic car museum, five restaurants easy access to a number of Colorado and Utah National Parks nearby. You can’t miss the Kayenta Lodge, an adobe-style lodge built around the resort’s courtyard."
