John Hendricks opens new Gateway Canyons features
The newest developments at Gateway Canyons were ceremoniously unveiled at a ribbon-cutting Monday evening.
The Kiva Lodge has 38 rooms, a workout room and a pool to go with the built-in killer views.
The Summit School Ranch Equestrian Center will host classes, events and trail rides for wannabe cowboys. Real cowboys provided some ambiance during the event.
Maureen Hendricks, wife of John Hendricks, Discovery Channel Founder and developer of the ambitious destination resort, cut the ribbon in front of some 70 people.
Special guests included representatives of state tourism efforts: Don Elliman, director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, and Kim McNulty, Director of Colorado Tourism Office.
After the ceremony, Hendricks said he was pleased to see statewide support of his efforts, particularly from the governor’s office.
Expect Gateway Canyons to target European travelers. With the exchange rate, U.S. trips are a bargain. And when European vacationers come to the West, they want to see The West.
