Experience one of the last remaining strongholds of the American West in this Authentic ranch getaway. Throw on a pair of jeans and saddle up for a weekend full of the traditions of the West in a rustic setting with the unbeatable luxury of spectacular vistas, great food, friendly people and loads of fun adventures. Live the life of a cowboy; carefree, relaxed, tough as nails, riding the open range, sitting around the campfire eating beans and telling stories at the famous Rockin’ R Ranch. Imagine yourself following the trail boss by horseback ride across the western plain on a real cattle drive. Relax on a hay wagon ride through town; learn the art of roping, barrel racing or pole bending. You will spend your evenings under the stars with some of the clearest views in the West.

Itinerary

Day 1 Antimony

Includes daily car rental.

The “Old West” comes alive when you come to this working cattle ranch offering comfortable guest facilities. Upon arrival you will work with a ranch staff member to personalize your schedule of activities based upon your preferences. You can do as little or as much as you choose, it’s your call.

Depending on your time of arrival, you might be able to participate in some of the afternoon activities right after enjoying a hearty lunch. At the Rockin’ R Ranch, you’ll savor the home-style goodness of delicious food served chuckwagon-style three times a day. Grab your plate, ladle up what looks best to you, and settle in at a table where you can trade tales of adventure with your friends and family. Make sure to stop by the ice cream parlor offering a variety of delicious flavors with generous scoops atop old-fashioned cones.

This evening, after dinner, join in around a campfire and trade adventurous tales about your day.

The Rockin’ R Ranch is nestled in the heart of the Grand Circle in Antimony, Utah, surrounded by the natural beauty of three National Parks, Bryce Canyon (41mi/66km south), Capitol Reef (54mi/87km east), and Zion (123mi/199km southwest). This is a true, old west working cattle ranch offering an all-inclusive, authentic cowboy experience. Amenities include a dining room, ice cream parlor, and a reading room. Recreational facilities include a fitnes center, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, horseshoe pit, and a game room.

Overnight at Rockin` R Ranch (B) (Standard).

Day 2 Antimony

Includes daily car rental.

Depending on your scheduled activities, today you may go for a trail ride. You will start by saddling your steed or mare and finish by brushing and feeding it upon returning. Or, try your hand at some arena activities such as learning how to barrel race, pole bend, or enjoy some other fun Cowboy Games such as sheep dressing, calf chase, and water relay. Take a roping clinic and learn time proven techniques from seasoned cowboys who will make sure you rope your first calf head.

To cool off in the afternoons, during the summer months, take a dip in the old swimming pond in your t-shirt and cutoffs, or grab a tube and take a fast-paced run down the river. A staff member will drop you off under the towering trees on the bank of the river, and then pick you up later at a designated spot downstream. Maybe you want to try the age-old sport of kings, archery, or hike a nearby trail.

In the evening, after yet another great home-cooked meal, get ready for the foot stompin’ fun of line dancing in the great room. Group lessons to learn the steps are provided.

Overnight at Rockin` R Ranch (B) (Standard).

Day 3 Salt Lake City

Or, have an early departure and visit one of the National Parks. If you are headed south, Bryce Canyon’s colorful rock formations are well worth a stop. If your travels take you east, then visit Capitol Reef with its bright canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths. If southwest is your destination, Zion’s alternating landscape of deserts and giant rock formations with waterfalls and hanging gardens should be on your list of must-see.

Enjoy the usual hearty breakfast as you prepare to spend your last morning at the ranch. Depending on your scheduled departure time you may be able to join in some more of the fun activities available here before you bid the “good ol’ west” farewell.

Includes daily car rental.

After packing up make your way to the rental car drop off centre and return your vehicle.
