Hidden Canyon Guest Ranch is nestled in
the hills on the eastern slope of the Mt. Wheeler Range,
just outside the border of Great Basin National Park in
Nevada. It is comprised of 384 acres in a long wooded
canyon, far away from the frantic pace of any city.
Our rich pioneer and mining history is
still evident in the log cabins on the ranch,
100-year-old orchards producing fruit, and various
artifacts and horse-drawn implements on display. Modern
conveniences such as running water, state of the art
equipment, and comfortable accommodations are added to
make the guests’ visit more enjoyable.
In the camping area there are tepees and
bedroom cabanas for rent, each furnished with extra long
twin beds or king beds, fresh linen, electric blankets
and lights. The bath house has hot showers, sinks and
flush toilets. An enclosed cooking pavilion and
well-equipped commercial kitchen are available to
provide a protected area for group meals and special
events.
For those guests looking for more
luxurious lodging, the Lodge at Hidden Canyon provides
bed and breakfast in an upscale setting. In the Lodge,
an inviting great hall is the place to play billiards or
to enjoy entertainment around the grand piano,
conversation with other guests, or find a quiet spot to
read a book from our extensive library. Many guests
appreciate the quality art collection which graces the
walls of the Lodge.
Our guests enjoy the serenity and quiet
of outdoor living at its best. In the early summer
there are baby animals eager to make friends. A deep
appreciation of life in an earlier time comes from
observing the unspoiled surroundings and hearing tales
of pioneers and outlaws who used to inhabit the ranch in
the 1800’s. This is one of the last prime areas in the
United States to find a truly dark night sky, giving us
an unmatched opportunity for stargazing in the
evenings. An early morning or evening walk is a good
time to enjoy the wildlife – mule deer, wild turkeys,
pheasants, and many other bird species.
A heated outdoor swimming pool, a
playground for children, board games of all types,
volleyball, croquet in the rough, and unlimited hiking
trails provide continuous opportunities for interaction
among our guests. Bring your own group, or join one of
ours.
Maximum group size for lodging in beds
is 33. Larger groups are welcome if guests are willing
to camp, using their own tents and sleeping bags.
Additional camping areas and spaces for small RV’s
(nothing over 35 feet, limited electrical hookups, no
dump station) are located near the bath house. Our
facilities can easily accommodate groups of up to 150.
If you book all the rooms with beds, you may reserve
Hidden Canyon for your exclusive use, but be sure to
book early. We are currently taking reservations for
next summer and fall.
Construction has begun on a beautiful
new building we call Roseberry Court. Completion is
scheduled for summer 2008. This building will provide
12 luxury suites, including ADA accommodations, and a
small convention center, providing ideal space for
corporate retreats, weddings, business training
sessions, and other special events.
Our warm weather season is June through
September. The Lodge at Hidden Canyon is open by
reservation year-round.
We suggest that guests bring a warm
jacket, warm night clothes, comfortable walking shoes,
flashlights & extra batteries, camera, sunscreen, lotion
& lip balm, shade hat, basic first aid supplies,
prescription medications, and plenty of water to stay
hydrated.
We are happy to prepare meals for you
with at least 2 week notice. Prices depend on the menus
chosen.
Pets are welcome in the camping areas,
tepees and cabins, as long as they are on a leash or in
a kennel at all times. Basic kennel facilities are
available for your dog while you are visiting Great
Basin National Park.
Many people ask us if dirt bikes or ATVs
are allowed. The answer is a resounding “yes.” There
are many miles of wonderful, unrestricted roads and
trails surrounding our canyon where you may ride such
vehicles. You may also use them for sightseeing on our
property, although no unlicensed drivers will be
allowed, and you must observe speed limits and stay on
established trails.
We also can board a limited number of
horses. Horses are allowed in Great Basin National Park
and there are many places to enjoy riding in our area.
