"Colorado is a big place. (Maybe not Texas big, but bear with us.) From Gateway Canyons you won’t be making quick day trips to the major ski resorts, and still less will you be popping in on Denver to see what’s new. And that’s more or less entirely the point. Here in canyon country you’re practically within sight of the Utah border, much closer to the mountain-biking and off-roading mecca of Moab than to Aspen or Vail. And, most importantly, you’re immersed in a landscape with plenty to offer locally, from fly fishing to river rafting, from hiking to biking to an equestrian center that we can safely say rivals that of any hotel just about anywhere." - Tablet Hotels
