Sorrel River Ranch

Boutique
Grand Canyon and the South West, USA

Sorrel River Ranch is located near Moab, Utah and is set within the magnificent surroundings of the south-western desert.

The ranch is close to the Colorado River and surrounded by towering red rock formations, the perfect place to stay for exploring the stunning scenery in the south-west, Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park and Monument Valley are all within driving distance.

The accommodation has the feel of a boutique hotel with a rustic and relaxed atmosphere. As well as a selection of rooms and suites there is also a private three bedroom adobe residence, perfect for a family holiday. Facilities include an outdoor pool, spa, fitness trail and equestrian facilities.

Head off on horseback or walk the miles of trails available on the doorstep. Further afield, you can have a rafting adventure down the Colorado River.

Why we like Sorrel River Ranch

Sorrel River Ranch has the most incredible location, on the edge of the Colorado River surrounded by huge red mesas. Arrive after dark and be wowed in the morning as you draw back the curtains on an unbelievable landscape.
