Gateway Canyons
If you’ve never had the chance to watch the sun rise in a red rock canyon, now is the time. At Gateway Canyons Resort in Western Colorado, each day of your visit begins in golden light as the sun illuminates our towering peaks of granite and sandstone in shades of amber and ochre. Across the canyon floor, sunrise moves silently into our valley, warming each cavern, mantle and peak. There is no better place in the world to awaken with nature.
There are many reasons to visit Colorado’s Gateway Canyons Resort, an award-winning destination located in the secluded Unaweep Canyon of Western Colorado. Surrounded by the vast lands of the Uncompahgre Plateau, Piñon Mesa and La Sal Mountains, our full-service resort features exceptional lodging, dining, outfitting, educational programs and the world-class Gateway Colorado Auto Museum.
Here, you can explore places virtually untouched by humans, in the stunning landscape of sculptured rock that surrounds Gateway, Colorado. Here, your ears will learn to recognize the call of the red-tailed hawk, and your mind will open to the paths of an ancient land. Here, it’s possible to live with childlike wonder, as you discover a world of new adventures.
Named “Best Adventure Resort in Colorado” by “Best Of” TV, there are few places in the world that can provide you with an experience and location such as this. And Gateway Canyons is the only resort in Colorado that can provide this level of luxury and attention to detail.
