Nestled on the banks of the Colorado River, surrounded by magnificent 2000 feet high cliffs, the Red Cliffs Lodge is truly a hidden treasure of the West. Inside, the lodge features dramatic 20-foot ceilings, natural wood-paneled walls, rustic log furniture and hand-finished Mexican tile floors. Visiting the Lodge feels like a step back in time, but guests soon find comfort and amenities throughout.

In the late 40s the legendary John Ford discovered the rugged beauty of Moab’s Canyonlands and filmed the 1st of many movies here. The first major motion pictures filmed in the Moab area were set on the Red Cliffs Ranch. Movies such as Wagon Master, Rio Grande, Son of Chochise, Warlock, Commancheros, Cheyenne Autumn, used the ranch and it’s magnificent scenery for filming. John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Ben Johnson, Rock Hudson, Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, Lee Marvin, Richard Widmark, James Stewart, and Richard Boone have all worked on location here at the original Red Cliffs Ranch.
