Embark on an experience your brain will love.

There is nothing ordinary about a Discovery Retreat. This is a getaway unlike any other, in a place like no other. Brought to you by the founder of the Discovery Channel, this a playground for the curious—those unafraid to ask, why? Or why not? Whether your passion is the cosmos, dinosaurs, the American West or even food and wine, there is a retreat here, among the red rocks of Colorado, for you.

Come play in the company of experts, people who have spent their lifetimes studying those very fields that you are passionate about. People who will share their knowledge with you, during one-on-one conversations, sunrise hikes or sunset dinners. And when you are ready to explore or relax, let our adventure center help you get away or let our spa help you drift away.
