We love a US road trip for…
Going on a road trip allows you to discover a large number of regions and landscapes, each one as grandiose as the next, in a manageable amount of time.
To discover in total immersion by staying in a ranch!
Horseback riding, hiking in the San Juan Mountains, cruising on Lake Powell, rafting on the Arkansas River, mountain biking through the red rocks of the Grand Canyon… the adrenaline is not missing!
The story
“No sooner had we arrived in Houston than we were on our way to Colorado to reach the Zapata Ranch, our first stop. There, the landscape of the Great Sand Dunes National Park takes our breath away. It’s a first encounter with the bison for the kids, who left their skateboards for a few hours to go and meet this completely wild environment.
Getting back behind the wheel, we reach Dunton Hot Springs a few hundred kilometres later, a ranch built on a ghost town where gold seekers once jostled. Between hikes, baths in natural hot springs and learning the names of the American states for the kids, time flies.
The last stop in the desert is the Amangiri, with its sleek design that blends into the surrounding rocks. After a visit to the Grand Canyon, we follow the Navajo guide to Monument Valley or Bryce and Zion National Parks before kayaking on Lake Powell. A hot air balloon ride offers an incredible view of all the national parks.
In total: 2,700 kilometres covered, we are ready to go again!”

Une expérience unique à partager
It’s impossible to stay indifferent to this singular hotel that charms by its clean, elegant and harmonious design. Uniting with the plateaus of Canyon Point that surround it, Amangiri is an UFO in the middle of the American Far West. Concrete walls, white stone floors, ocher and pinkish colors reminding us of the rocks around it… the suites fascinate as much as the landscape. Each suite has a terrace with a fireplace – perfect for friendly evenings under the crazy starry sky. During the day, the views of the Utah desert are mind-blowing.
Nestled in the heart of a Colorado valley where time seems to stand still, Dunton Hot Springs sends you back in the footsteps of the 19th-century gold miners – an experience like no other. Intimate cottages offer spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains and surrounding plains, while ultimate relaxation awaits you at the nearby hot springs.
Riding horses surrounded by two thousand bisons, hiking in the Great Sand Dunes National Park, trekking in the wild Sangre de Cristo Mountains, participating in the daily work of the ranch, enjoying gourmet meals… A multitude of unforgettable experiences await you at Zapata Ranch.
