Gateway Canyons Family Reunion Ideas:

  • The night of your arrival, families may want to gather at the fishing ponds, where children can run and play and experience the thrill of their first catch. We can provide a full selection of snacks and on-the-go boxed meals, even a fully catered Colorado family reunion barbecue.
  • Enjoy the warm Colorado sunshine on the water. Pile the family into a raft for an adventure on the rapids of the Dolores River. Or for more leisurely bonding, go tubing together on West Creek.
  • Explore the beauty and history of the Unaweep Canyon. On guided or self-guided mountain biking, hiking or Jeep expeditions you can see dinosaur tracks, ancient rock art and unique rock formations that you will talk about for many family reunions to come.
  • Spend an afternoon in the Gateway Auto Museum with several generations of your family. Our collection of antique American cars will bring back stories and memories for the family to share.
  • Dinner can be enjoyed at the Paradox Grille followed by foosball and air hockey games in our upstairs gaming room. Or, gather with those you love at a special barbecue on the Entrada patio, followed by s’mores charred to perfection at Entrada’s fire pits.
  • Have a special celebration in mind? Our staff can help you create the right atmosphere pared with the perfect dining selections to help make your special Colorado family reunion with us a memorable one.
  • Before going home, enjoy a Sunday brunch at the Kiva Café. The kids can swim and splash to their heart’s content before the trip home.
