Rafting or kayaking on the Colorado River, swimming in the 1,000 foot Crooked River Water Park, tennis, zipline, climbing wall , and golfing at Wolf Dancer Golf Club are all part of the many experiences offered at the Resort.

 My 16 year old son had the opportunity to kayak the Colorado with certified guides. It was his first time kayaking and the guides were exceptional,  he caught on quickly and learned the history of the area while paddling down the river!

 Want to indulge in a little pampering? Sign the kids up for Camp Hyatt,( more below) the Resort's program for children, while you relax and get a massage at Spa Django. Spa Django offers therapeutic massage, deep tissue, facials, manicures, pedicures and many other body treatments. I was invited to experience a wonderful "Django Massage", a combination of relaxation and aromatherapy. Kendra, my wonderful masseuse, was the best. Not only did I get a fantastic massage, I received a lesson on "Django", which means " I awaken"and got to listen to music by Django Reinhardt from which the signature massage gets it's inspiration. The little ones can indulge in some pampering too at the Wilde Hare Youth Spa. Ice Cream pedicures, Ooey Gooey manicures, glam hair extensions, and princess hairdos are offered for the younger set!

 My youngest two children got to experience Camp Hyatt. They went on a nature hike, did crafts ( my 4 year old loves the ceramic piggy bank she got to paint), played indoor and outdoor sports, watched a movie ( popcorn included :) and had a great afternoon. It was very hard to get them to leave! Camp Hyatt was their favorite part of the day!

Don't miss visiting the Resort mascots, two Longhorn Steers ( T-Bone & Rib Eye ). There are "meet, greet, and seat" events available that allow you to interact with them and even sit in their saddles. They also have two Percheron draft horses that provide wagon rides throughout the resort. Say hello to Hoss too, their 125 pound Newfoundland "pup"!
