The Spa
The Spa at Gateways Canyons is
small but upscale. The treatment selection is varied, including massages,
body treatments, facials, and hair and
nail services.
Dining
The focus is on fresh, imaginative
fare in both the fine dining and the
casual restaurants. The Entrada Restaurant and Lounge, where guests
often come casually dressed, features
dishes using locally grown ingredients. Expect anything from bison
carpaccio to polenta-dusted Colorado striped bass to Colorado rack
of lamb. Head to the Kiva Cafe for
more casual fare, ranging from buffalo meatloaf and angus burgers to
salads with a Southwestern flair.
Exploring
Gateway Canyons Resort is in the
middle of one of the most scenic
drives in Colorado: The UnaweepTabeguache Scenic and Historic Byway. The highway is carved through
high canyons, follows deep river
beds and passes sheer sandstone
cliffs. Historic sites along the way
include the remnants of the Hanging Flume, which brought 23 million
gallons of water daily from the San
Miguel River to operate the hydraulic
mining equipment at the Bancroft
Placer gold site.
Within a two-hour drive, visitors will
find some 18 wineries in the Colorado Wine Country region. Most are
at the base of the Colorado National
Monument.
