great retreat with 25 family members.The cabins were great, very updated and clean.Our cabin opened up to a deck on the river. Stoney and his guides were amazing and know how to make the adventure safe and exciting. We zip lined,river rafted,and had group activities. Already planing our next trip in august.

Lilly Burns ToLilly burns Steve and Sue Wood at Big Rock make their guests feel like returning family. Since they've been there, the resort has undergone a complete facelift - the cabins and motels rooms are very clean and comfortable. The ATV trails, from beginner level to "black" are well maintained and mapped - we try to spend a few... More

The drive from Kaniab [south end of 89 in Utah] to I-40 near Richfield is one of the best ever. When you encounter the BRCM you see one of the high lites of the drive. Magnificent Yellow and ochre coloring on the entire mountain.

A hit with kids, this giant mountain is right on the road and easy to see. Kids are amazed and you can get away with wonderful exaggerations about this geo strange place.

The rafting was a great experience for a group of first time rafters; however, it was a slow current and the "rapids" were few and far between. If it were not for the guide-"Buckshot," the experience would have been less than alright. He did a great job!

The resort is right on a deep fast flowing river, so if you have little kids, I recommend staying away, as it is too easy for them to fall in. The cabins don't accept pets and are expensive for what they are. The best thing is a paved walking trail that starts right at the edge of their property, but... More

The rooms were not clean. The door and walls are paper think so you could hear everything. There was no TP in the bathroom. I would not stay in this motel again your better off heading to Richfield, you would pay the same price and get much better rooms.

Expected we would be white water rafting. Scheduled maybe 3 days in advance and the employee we booked with did not mention that the dam wasn't currently flowing. When the dam isn't flowing, there is practically no current. You get sent down on your own to "float" the river, but you still pay the same price as if you were... More
