Gateway to Adventure Explore western Colorado's dramatic landscapes at Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa. BY IVY LAMB S targazing, rock climbing, exploring - Gateway Canyons will excite you. But you'd expect no less from a resort designed by the founder of the Discovery Channel. PHOTOS COURTESY OF GATEWAY CANYONS RESORT Drawn to the natural beauty of western Colorado's red rock canyons, Discovery Channel founder John Hendricks envisioned a unique resort that would blend luxury accommodations with exciting activities and educational experiences in his favorite destination. Gateway Canyons is the culmination of that vision. Located about an hour southwest of Grand Junction, the Four Diamond property sits on the lush green ﬂoor of Unaweep Canyon and offers 360-degree views of the towering granite and sandstone cliffs. The surrounding 6,000 acres of virtually untouched land beg to be explored. Thrill-seekers will love mountain biking along the Dolores River and climbing the iconic Palisade rock formation, which reaches more than 2,000 feet in elevation. Plus, hands-on workshops reveal the secrets of the area's landscape and history. Visit one of the highest concentrations of dinosaur fossils on the planet (found near the resort) with a paleontology expert, or navigate the night skies with the help of an astronomer. In the evening, sample the locally sourced cuisine at Entrada Restaurant. There's no better place to watch the sun set over the gorgeous red rock canyon walls than on Entrada's patio while you enjoy grilled smoked pork tenderloin with wild boar sausage succotash, or the baked Colorado striped bass with country mashed potatoes. After dinner, retire to your adobe-style room (outﬁtted with ﬁne linens, soaker tubs, and ﬂat-screen TVs). In the morning you'll be ready for another day of discovery. top right to left: the signature Palisade Casitas, the start of a trail ride 43200 Colorado 141 Gateway, CO 970.931.2458 gatewaycanyons.com usairwaysmag.com JUNE 2014 105 http://www.gatewaycanyons.com http://www.gatewaycanyons.com http://www.usairwaysmag.com
