A Note From Ranch Owners, Garry & Ming Adams

Thank You! You Made This Possible.

We are still a little speechless…

A little while ago, we learned that Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch had been nominated for Reviewed’s Readers’ Choice Awards – Best Guest Ranch of 2026. We had no idea we had even been nominated! Once we found out, we reached out to our guests, family, and friends to ask for their support.

Today, we are incredibly honored to share that, thanks to all of you, Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch has been voted Reviewed’s Readers’ Choice – Best Guest Ranch of 2026.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Every vote, every share, every encouraging message, and every kind word meant the world to us. We know there are so many exceptional guest ranches across the country, and to be recognized alongside them is truly humbling.

This award is not simply ours. It belongs to every guest who has trusted us with a special vacation, celebrated a milestone here, watched the stars from our dark skies, hiked among ancient cultural landscapes, laughed with our animals, found a moment of peace, or simply fell in love with this remarkable corner of southwest Colorado.

It also belongs to our incredible team, our local community, and everyone who has supported our journey over the years.

More than anything, this award reminds us why we do what we do. Our greatest joy has never been collecting awards—it has always been sharing this extraordinary landscape and seeing guests leave with full hearts, lasting memories, and a deeper connection to nature, history, and one another.

Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for your overwhelming support. And thank you for making Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch a place that so many people have come to love.

We can’t wait to welcome you back.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Garry & Ming Adams
