SKYRIDGE INN

The Skyridge Inn offers six guest rooms, each with a private deck that provides direct views of Capitol Reef National Park's red rocks and forests. The Chamisa room on the top floor includes two bedrooms with king-size beds, while the Juniper room features a spacious walk-in shower and its own balcony. Cathedral ceilings, flat-screen TVs, and air conditioning are standard across the property.

Each morning, a freshly cooked breakfast is served, with options that change daily and include American dishes, pancakes, breakfast burritos, and gluten-free alternatives. Guests sign up for a 7:30 or 8:00 seating each evening, and the menu is posted outside the front door. The breakfast is prepared by Gustavo and uses high-quality ingredients, with special dietary requests accommodated upon notice.

Capitol Reef Outfitters operates directly from the inn, offering guided ATV tours, fishing trips, and photography excursions led by owner Shawn. Guests staying at Skyridge Inn receive a complimentary ATV tour as a promotional gift, and professional guides provide all necessary equipment, including fishing tackle. Shawn's drone videos of the surrounding area have been compared to National Geographic documentaries.

The outdoor hot tub is reservable for private use and offers views of the valley and night skies ideal for stargazing. A game room with board games and puzzles, a garden with a firepit and BBQ facilities, and a sun terrace with outdoor dining seating are available for guest entertainment. The property also features a first-floor traveler room for those who prefer not to climb stairs.

The inn sits on a ridge two kilometers from the town of Torrey and 15 kilometers from Bicknell Theater, with direct access to Capitol Reef National Park and Horseshoe Canyon's pictographs. It has been recognized by National Geographic Traveler and Sunset Magazine, and was named Best Lodges or Bed and Breakfasts Near Capitol Reef National Park. Self check-in with clear instructions is provided, and the owner is available on-site to offer hiking and dining recommendations.
