I was born in Heber City, near Park City, Utah. My career in IT included Applications Development and Management at Unisys and Baxter Healthcare, Management Consulting at Deloitte, and CIO level experience at Apria Healthcare Group, Toshiba America, Technicolor, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii. I have lived in Utah, California, Illinois, and Hawaii and had international IT responsibilities including Europe, Australia, and Asia. I am retired and currently live in Ventura County, California and spend considerable time in Utah. I enjoy the outdoors and all of great National Parks in the area. Do not hesitate to reach out before or during your stay, for any questions about the area. Let's pick the adventures nearby that fit your unique vacationing style.

Staying on a 280 acre cattle ranch is a unique experience. There is lots of buffer space to neighboring properties and a lot of wildlife around. The river flowing through the pasture filled with horses and cattle is beautiful and is an additional benefit as you can fish in it if you purchase a Utah State fishing license.

The Sevier River Ranch and Cattle Company is located in Hatch, a small rural town of 200 people. Locals are very friendly and helpful, and you shouldn't hesitate to ask anyone for tips and recommendations. The Sevier River Ranch is very private on the edge of town. It sits on 280 acres and is traversed by the Sevier River. Note that there are convenience stores in Hatch during the busy season, but no grocery store in Hatch and you should plan to bring at least some food with you. The nearest grocery store is in Panguitch (15 mins) and you will find a Walmart Supercenter, Smiths, and Lyns supermarkets in in Cedar City (1 hour) as well as grocery stores in Kanab (1 hour). There is no public transportation. You will need a car. A 4x4 or high clearance vehicle is recommended in order to enjoy the surrounding trails, but a regular low-clearance sedan is sufficient to access the property itself.
