OUT OF ASHES

 

November 14, 2021 is a day forever etched into our minds.  Chad and Shondell watched as their lifelong dream went up into flames and burnt to the ground.  The lodge had only been open just two short years.  So much blood, sweat and tears and been poured into making their dream become a reality.

It was this day that their next dream was built out of the ashes.  What if we could build something even bigger and better?  Something that could change peoples lives?  Something that could help them realize their full potential?  A place they could come to leave their worries behind and enjoy the stillness of the ranch.  This is the beginning of the new Royal Creek Ranches.

Royal Creek Ranches is discreetly nestled in the middle of the Stansbury Mountains encompassing rolling hills, creeks, and beautiful Utah landscapes. The property is brimming with rich pioneer history, western charm and elegance ready to provide you with an experience that you will remember for a lifetime!

Guests can enjoy a wide range of activities including the best elk and pheasant hunting you will find in the entire country, fishing, mountain bikes, ATV’s,  hayrides through the elk herd, and skeet shooting.

Our accommodations include a 12,000 sq ft. 17 bedrooms, Pheasant Haven Lodge and 9,000 sq ft Elk Ridge Lodge (the center gathering of the ranch) overlooking the Bull Pasture and Pheasant Brush Acres, all of which fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape exuding Utah’s western charm. Our Ranch also includes 23 restored sheep camps, The Ambassador cabin, along with the Luke S Johnson study/library, the Destiny Amphitheater and Legacy Pavilion.  Royal Creek Ranches is the perfect destination for a corporate retreat, pheasant hunt, wedding, youth conference, or reunions. The unique set up of the ranch resort allows the property to maintain an intimate feeling whether there are two people or 200 calling it home.  This ranch was built to host executive meetings combined with morning & afternoon hunts, ATV riding, fishing, biking, hiking, or a dozen other ways to make it a lifetime memorable experience. Royal Creek Ranches is located just 45 minutes West of Salt Lake City. The elk hunting ranch is a 2 hour drive south of Salt Lake or a quick 23 minute helicopter ride, provided by the ranch and can be included in your package. Guests can fly commercial into Salt Lake or fly their planes into the Tooele Utah airport, just 20 minutes from the ranch.

It's perfect for socializing or solo trips. Bring water, proper footwear, and appropriate attire for expected weather conditions. With planning and a sense of adventure, a hiking trip can be unforgettable.

Mountain Biking

Team Building Exercises

The team seems to have lost some of its energy and motivation, and morale is beginning to drop. Bring your team to Royal Creek Ranches to get them back on track by exploring some team building strategies and activities.

Team building is about providing the skills, training and resources that your people need, so that they can work in harmony. But, to be truly effective, it needs to be a continual process, embedded into your team and organization’s culture.

Royal Creek Ranches will show your team not only how to work together but also the importance of it. We have several team building exercises to choose from. Have a few days? Let’s do them all!

Thank you for the hunt and for the experience my wife had. We all had a wonderful time and you, your guides, and those who prepared the meals took good care of us. Our friends who came with us had a good time too. My wife has told people that this experience completed one of her bucket list things to do. Again many thanks!
Words can’t describe the experience “Royal Creek Ranches” provides! Simply knowing there’s a place on earth that not only offers an incredible opportunity to hunt “Trophy Bull Elk” its a “Pheasant Hunters Paradise” allowing friends and family to take part in some of the most phenomenal upland game hunting a club can offer! We couldn’t believe the history that exists on the Ranch, 100 plus year old cabins that stretch down the Clover River. The Old Sheep Camp offering everything from a bunk style camp out to a great game of basketball/volleyball only to conclude with a walk along the nature path admiring the Mule Deer, Wild Turkeys and listening to the coyotes howling from the shadows.... Absolutely breathtaking to say the least!! A Huge “THANKS” to Chad, Shondell, Family and Staff taking the time to share themselves and their “SLICE OF HEAVEN” with me and my family!
I absolutely recommend Royal Creek Ranches. The facilities are perfect for both large and small gatherings. Our youth group held a conference here and had a fantastic time camping overnight. I've also been on site during a very large event with probably 1000+ people. Plenty of room for all. We plan to hold a family reunion there next summer. The owners are open and inviting, taking care of your every need. Give this place a shot! You won't be disappointed.
I’ve traveled the world for the last 25 years and had the opportunity to stay at the finest properties from Texas to Tasmania but Royal Creek Ranches remains my favorite. We wanted a special place to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary and are so glad we selected Royal Creek Ranches. There was so much to do but also space to enjoy the beauty of the ranch. We will be back!
I want to thank you for the hunt of a lifetime. Everything was perfect on the trip. I have been hunting for 60 years and this was the best hunt ever. You run a quality operation. The bonding experience with xxx’s son was an unexpected bonus. XXX never had a grandfather and the time we had together left a big impression on the boy. He is going to start a savings account so he can return in a few years. Tyson was an excellent guide and made our trip very pleasant. I was really worn out after returning home and am still waiting for my body to return to normal. The meat from the elk is very tasty and should last a long time as will the memories of the hunt.
Thank you for a great hunt and a wonderful experience. Your guide, Owen, was a patient and careful guide. He made sure that we went at our own pace and if we looked like we needed to slow down or stop for a rest, that’s what we did. His scouting and tracking skills were outstanding. He gave me the confidence to make “the shot of a lifetime.” He is a true asset to your Ranch. I hope to one day bring my son to your Ranch as he has just this past week completed his hunter safety course here in PA. He will, of course, have to work his way up to game this large. Once again, thank you for fulfilling a dream that I have had for a long time.
This is a very special place where the entire design and purpose is to enable people to be inspired and renewed. The experiences here are more than amazing memories — they have the potential to transform the way you live.
Some of our favorite memories as a family have been spent hunting and camping outdoors in our beautiful state of Utah. Royal Creek Ranches is set in such an amazing place! You will absolutely love to hunt there! The owners are the best people and will take great care of anyone who visits there!! Don't pass up the chance to hunt at Royal Creek Ranches!! You will not be disappointed! Very highly recommended!
