Close Encounters in the Colorado Desert
"Gateway Canyons Resort sprawls out in the valley of a primeval red rock canyon. The resort is the eccentric match of its founder, John Hendrix, creator of the Discovery Channel. The pools, restaurants, and spa are spread throughout a green suburban campus. In the center is a museum for Hendrix’s personal collection of classic cars. The other guests were mostly from the surrounding region, there for a relaxing spa resort vacation. The resort offers numerous excursions to explore the otherworldly landscape, such as UTV tours and horseback riding." - Mitchell Friedman
