Sorrel River Ranch welcomes Brennan Conant as General Manager. Both a working ranch and destination resort, Sorrel River Ranch sits on 240 private acres of Moab's iconic red mesas and sculptural rock formations, along a winding stretch of the Colorado River. It blends the romance and rugged appeal of the American West with the personalized service and comfort of a world-class resort, where real, raw moments in nature and rustic luxury come together for a singular experience you can have only there. At Sorrel River Ranch, you're fully immersed in Moab's spirit: present, unplugged, and part of the landscape.
Under Conant's leadership, the ranch is deepening its commitment to what's always made this place magical: the quiet awe that comes from watching the light pour over the valley, the thrill of a baby goat being born at dawn, and engaging with staff who act as conduits for the land's millennia-old stories. This is hospitality rooted in stewardship—of the land, the livestock, the stories, and the people. As an engaged presence within Moab's community, Sorrel River Ranch continues its charitable partnerships with local organizations, including SeekHaven, Canyonlands Field Institute, Moab Valley Multicultural Center, and Youth Garden Project.
Conant brings more than a decade of hospitality experience across full-service hotels and complex resort operations. He most recently served as Assistant General Manager at Hyatt Centric Downtown Denver, where he oversaw rooms division operations, financial performance, and team development. Known for his people-first leadership style, Conant has built high-performing teams through roles with White Lodging Services, Sage Hospitality, Towne Park, and Marriott.
While it's conveniently situated just 30 minutes from Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, you won't ever have to leave the ranch. The ranch invites active engagement with the land, making it one of the most enriching destinations in the West. This is an all-seasons property where you can horseback ride, practice yoga, mountain bike, paddle board, stargaze, snowshoe, or ride UTVs—without leaving the resort. Daily rituals ground you, like the simple joy of sipping freshly made cowboy coffee, a daily sunrise hike led by a team member to the top of a mountain where manifestation naturally occurs, and winding through the stone labyrinth at sunset.
