April is on the cusp of summer but can be cool and rainy.

Want sunshine and yearn for clear air, blue sky, and warmer days? Look no further than beautiful Moab's exclusive four star Sorrel River Ranch. Whether you are into adventure – southeast Utah has it all – or a quiet, secluded getaway weekend, Sorrel River Ranch has it covered.

This is what surrounds you just walking to the room.

There's lots more to see and do or you can stay close and inhale the beauty. Nothing beats red rock beauty just hours away in sunny Southeast Utah.

Foodie? Enjoy onsite farm to table dining in the River Grill Restaurant, al fresco dining in season, casual at the bar, on the go picnic style, or room service for your own intimate dinner. One bride thusly described the food, "an overdose of raw stunning landscapes and a shamefully exquisite feast. It was food in the most beautiful state. Henry and his team are artists and everyone was just floored. The composition on each plate was a dance of color, texture and culinary thoughtfulness."

Need a massage and who doesn't? Give in to your hedonistic side and partake of the boutique spa menu; engage in a little yoga perhaps, or go for total romance; try a couple's massage. Don't miss the Sorrel River Ranch's own Bourbon Cowboy and the Cactus Wrap.

Adventure seeker? The options are almost unlimited. The ranch is located on scenic Highway 128 and is minutes from Colorado River rafting, slick rock hiking and biking trails, canyoneering, scenic flights, skydiving, four wheeling, and of course, Arches and Canyonlands. Plan your own romantic adventure or consult with Sorrel River Ranch's knowledgeable staff.

Don't want to drive? Book a horse or bring your own. Take a private ride - just you, your beloved, a guide, the horses, and the wide open blue sky. Don't ride? Tennis courts, basketball, fitness center, horseshoe pits, hiking trails, and a sparkling pool overlooking the Colorado River, are other alternatives on the 160-acre property.

Don't want to leave the room? You don't have to. All the comforts including luxurious bedding, seclusion, privacy, and the aforementioned room service, await. Sorrel River Ranch offers rustic yet elegant guestrooms and suites with private decks. Choose your favorite view and amenities. Wireless is provided and Fido is welcome.
