Guests can find thousands of archaeological sites in the area, and Mesa Verde National Park is under an hour’s drive away.

Where it stands out among other Utah dude ranches is that you’re welcome to get involved with ranching activities, such as feeding the animals and maintaining the gardens. Don’t forget to spend some time hiking in the area too.
The ranch has a lot of places, like the Hovenweep National Monument and Sutcliffe Vineyards that guests can visit. At Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch, there are several unique cabins and accommodation options. They sleep between 2-8 adults, ideal for either couples or families.
