Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch

Pastoral scenes of Navajo Churro Lambs and bison-looking Galloway Calves await you at Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch. Nestled in front of the majesty of the Ute Mountain in peaceful McElmo Canyon, the ranch is an unforgettable destination. Out here where the mountains meet the desert you can experience the nation's oldest outdoor museum, with incredible natural, geological and archaeological experience.

Sky Village: With ruins and rock art just within walking distance, the majestic view of the sacred Sleeping Ute Mountain, endless terrain to explore, and a mystic dark sky, Sky Village is perfect for those who love to enjoy peace and solitude. The two newest dwellings, Star Tower & Sky Kiva, were inspired by ancient ruins around the Four Corners Region.
