In the adventure capital of the south-west, Sorrel River Ranch Resort rests in 160 acres of green pastures on the Colorado River, surrounded by the spectacular desert red rock cliffs of Moab. With a gourmet restaurant, health spa, tennis courts and stables, it raises the benchmark for accommodation in the area. Sit out on your private deck and listen to the sounds of the river flowing by as you admire the magnificent desert scenery. All the rooms and suites have a rustic elegance with comfy furnishings and kitchenettes. Take a dip in the pool or a massage in the spa before dinner in the restaurant. Venture into Arches National Park, packed full of natural red rock arches, domes and spires, 150 million years in the making. Then take a white-knuckle, four-wheel-drive descent down Shafer Canyon Trail in nearby Canyonlands or go white-water rafting down White Rapids. Sorrel River Ranch Resort is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
