No postcard can possibly portray the splendor of wondrous Castle Valley where Sorrel River Ranch provides infinite recreation and ultimate relaxation. After 2 nights at this breathtaking ranch you're headed for a journey through a deep 100-mile-long chasm where you'll experience much more than just breathtaking views of Canyonlands National Park.

Explore two of the most geologically fascinating and beautiful places on earth. Hike to 1,200 feet above the valley floor and Zion National Park's Virgin River Narrows, ranked 5th out of America's best 100 adventures by National Geographic Adventure Magazine. Browse galleries in the artist conclave of Springdale and unwind each night with a well-deserved soak in a hot tub.

Where the Colorado River and Green River meet in a majestic setting called "The Confluence," Cataract Canyon begins. Bolstered by the Green, the Colorado doubles its force, and carves a deep 100-mile-long chasm through the heart of Canyonlands National Park. Calm stretches of river wind through soul-stirring canyons and dazzling geologic formations.

Eons of wind, water and geological upheaval have carved America's world wonders Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyons. In the glow of the morning sun, these rocks, spires and pinnacles cast a spell of magical light, brilliant colors and deep shadows. The slender rock formations called hoodoos take on the shapes of people or animals such as the "Indian Princess" or "The Rabbit." The West was wild here Butch Cassidy and Billy the Kid were among the famous outlaws who rode the range. The immensity of the canyons, the stunning vistas of mountains, forests, cliffs and lakes leave us awestruck. We keep to the Park Trials to forestall erosion in three million years all this will be gone.

Surrounded by an immense red rock playground, Moab, Utah is the perfect setting for a kid-friendly family outing and Western's Southwest Sampler provides just the right amount of adventure for the whole gang.
