NETJETS US VOLUME 9 2019

essentials
(undercanvas.com). The glamping outfitter’s
new 26-tent site combines the best of
camping and cowboy life with a location
adjacent to Arizona’s cactus-studded
Saguaro National Park and steps from the
dining and amenities of luxe-dude ranch
Tanque Verde. Guests can play wrangler
by day, then toast s’mores and stargaze on
the deck of their palatial safari tent at night.
On the rugged coast of Oregon,
glamping gets a New Nordic twist at
BAY POINT LANDING (baypointlanding.
com). Angular, Scandi-influenced cabins
designed by acclaimed California studio
R&A Architecture are outfitted with warm
Pendleton blankets, Beekman 1802
amenities and smart TVs with Hulu and
Netflix, just in case you get bored with the
ocean views.
Colorado’s backcountry finally has a
base that rivals the gourmet mountain huts
of Europe. Set at 11,000ft in the San Juan
Mountain Range, RED MOUNTAIN ALPINE
LODGE (redmountainalpinelodge.com) is a
timber A-frame with three private rooms and
a large loft that sleeps up to 20. Radiantfloor
heating, a wood-burning sauna and
a wine collection with a stellar selection of
Châteauneuf-du-Pape ensure guests keep
cosy in winter. But the real draws are the
in-house guides and hundreds of hectares of
tree skiing right out the front door.
In Utah, the new LODGE AT BLUE SKY
(aubergeresorts.com/bluesky), located just
outside of Park City, debuts an exclusive
heli-ski programme this winter giving
powderhounds with deep pockets access
to three private ski zones in the Uinta and
Wasatch Mountain Ranges. Lay fresh
tracks in alpine bowls and steep chutes
all morning, then return and indulge with
refined mountain fare at Yuta restaurant or
with a flight of whiskeys at on-site distillery
High West.
The culinary factor has also been upped
in Saratoga, Wyoming, where the debut
of THE FARM AT BRUSH CREEK RANCH
(brushcreekranch.com) takes the seedto-table
concept to new levels. Tasting
menus at the Cheyenne Club restaurant
showcase ingredients produced in the
on-site creamery, bakery and 20,000 sq ft
organic greenhouse as well as meat from
the farm’s herd of Japanese wagyu cows.
Hidden below the dining room, you’ll find
a James Bond-worthy speakeasy stocked
with rare whiskies and a 30,000-bottle
wine cellar.
