Kessler Canyon

While few luxury resorts can boast true solitude and really mean it, Kessler Canyon epitomizes "escape" in every sense of the word. Aside from the welcoming and well-staffed ranch house, you won't find another building, let alone another soul, for miles around. Here, grizzlies and moose dominate the land, not you.

Well, that is, until you gear up to do a few days of real, rugged hunting for Rocky Mountain game. No need to be bitten by your conscience - Kessler Canyon is part of the Ranch for Wildlife program, protecting large tracts of land so that big-horn sheep, moose, elk, deer, and bear can thrive under careful wildlife management. Here, the wildlife is always plentiful and monitored year-round.

Upon returning to the main ranch house, choose between a luxurious fire indoors with a hot toddy and a soft, yielding armchair, or a bonfire outside under the stars with a mug of strong whisky. At Kessler Canyon, you can be as decadent or as down-home dirty as you want.
