A massive double fireplace provides warmth for the soul and cool autumn evenings.

The Grotto

A cave in the making. Centuries of erosion have hollowed a special place on the 7 Canyons Ranch. A perfect spot to find the solitude you seek. Read a book, sip your favorite wine, close your eyes. Listen to the water gently splash in its pool below as it seeps from the bluff, continuing it's erosion task.

The Canyons

For the physically fit only, experience hiking if you dare. Climb challenging bluffs with the native and exotic animals. Pull yourself up between tree limbs, careful not to slip as you observe a surprised elk, axis or whitetail deer. Cleared roadways and paths are available for easier hikes for bird and nature watching or photography.
