Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa is the product of John Hendricks’ vision – that is to create a resort that does not only make for a great relaxation getaway but also for a place where people can experience adventure, education, and leisure altogether.
Situated in Unaweep Canyon, Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa was built at the convergence of five canyons – probably the only resort that was able to do so. It’s about 44 miles or an hour and a half drive from the Grand Junction Airport, while it will take a five-hour drive if coming from Denver International Airport.
John Hendricks, the same founder of the Discovery Channel, immediately got captivated upon stepping foot in Gateway, Colorado in 1995. Though it took him some time before he finally saw the beautiful red rock country his father used to tell him about in his childhood, he knew then and there that that is the place where he would settle down.
Wanting to share the same Discovery philosophy with other people, he established a resort that would serve as both a place to explore their curiosity and relaxation.

Built in 2005, the 4-star Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa consists of 72 spacious accommodations, each reflecting the area’s Southwestern aesthetics. Offering rooms, suites, and lodges as well as ADA accessible units, no matter your needs, the resort will have an option.
