My husband and I had a great weekend getaway at Tavaputs Ranch. It is a real cattle ranch located on a beautiful mountain. They gave us a fabulous tour of Ancient Indian Art and told fabulous family stories about their ranch. I loved it! The best part was that I discovered they host quilt retreats there! I might have to get in on that next year if Covid settles down.
We rode ATV's into the ranch on a private road. This place is so remote that there is no public access at all. For quilt retreats, the owners drive you and your sewing stuff in with trucks.
You are literally on top of a mountain!
Tavaputs means "Sunrise" in the Ute Indian language. Can you imagine waking up to this view at Sunrise?
This was our cabin.
They took us on a tour of Range Creek. It is an amazing archeological site with nearly 1,000 sites of ruins, granaries, and art.
There are also old cabins where families used to dwell.
It is amazing what a little water and TLC can do to a desert area!
These boys were on our tour. They loved the water. Just look at the view!
Wow what a beautiful place and the views are spectacular!! A quilt retreat there would be amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful views. Hope you got in lots and lots of relaxation along with the tours.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks very remote, and the views are amazing. If you go on a quilt retreat, you would need to take everything you need, as a quick trip to the patchwork shop might be a loooong way to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special place to visit. The perfect place for a quilt retreat.
