Unique Experiences

Item Description

The Henry Mountains are located in south-central Utah, just north of Lake Powell.  Here, the Bureau of Land Management administers almost 2 million acres of public land. The Henry Mountains are extremely remote and the chance of meeting other people in the area is low. The Henry Mountains are the home of the only free-roaming and huntable herd of American bison in the 48 contiguous United States. In 1941, eighteen head were transplanted from Yellowstone National Park to the Henry Mountain area. Today, over 200 buffalo roam the lower benches of the Henry Mountains in the winter and the higher areas during the summer.

The Cat Ranch

The Cat Ranch is a 540-acre privately owned property located on the Northeast side of Mount Hillers in the Henry Mountains.  The property is “off the grid,” and has its own water source and is powered with solar energy.  It is completely surrounded by public lands. Coyote, wild turkey and occasional cow provide the background noise at the ranch.

Outdoor Adventures 

There are a wide variety of outstanding outdoor adventures including: hiking, sightseeing, photography, rock hounding and fossil hunting. A geologist is provided at the Cat Ranch to answer any questions or hike with you upon request. Many of the unique geological formations of the Henry Mountain area are worth viewing during your visit. Millions of years ago, semi-molten diorite from within the earth's interior forced itself upward into the overlying layers of the earth's crust to form high domes called laccoliths. Today these domes form the five major peaks of the Henry Mountains. Erosion has now exposed the hardened diorite core of the mountains. The domed and arched sedimentary rocks are seen as flanks of the mountains range.

Exclusive Vacation

This Exclusive Vacation includes a two-night stay for up to six people at this private and remote ranch house.  All meals are provided and prepared for you. You must provide your own transportation and have a 4WD vehicle with moderate clearance to access the Cat Ranch. Feel free to bring your cell phone, but if you want to use it you will have to drive 60-miles on a dirt road to the nearest town. The Cat Ranch is a true refuge.
