Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa is located in Gateway, Colorado.[1] In 2014, it was ranked by Conde Nast Traveler readers as the #12 resort in the world, #3 resort in the U.S. and the #1 resort in Colorado.[2] It sits at the confluence of five canyons, the only resort in the world to do so.[3] Created by the founder of the Discovery Channel, John Hendricks, he established the hotel using the same philosophy that had led to his creation of Discovery, to create a resort which was "not a leisure getaway but an arena for adventure and education, a place where guests could learn about the world around them and experience nature firsthand."[4] Gateway Canyons offers many activities related to exploring curiosity,[5] including an off-road adventure which consists of being driven around a two-mile track by a professional off-road driver in a customized Pro-Baja truck.[6] Curiosity Retreats are hosted at Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa once a year, where lectures are filmed for later distribution via CuriosityStream.[7][8] The resort includes a museum of automobiles, which spans cars from the early days of the auto industry through the new electric vehicles produced by Tesla Motors.[1] The resort underwent a $20 million upgrade in 2011, after entering into a partnership agreement with Noble House Hotels and Resorts.[9]
