Overview
Red Cliffs Lodge and Film Museum are part of Red Cliffs Ranch. The ranch was settled in the late 1800s and has been a working ranch raising cattle and horses ever since. John Ford discovered the Canyonlands and Moab in the 1940s. Since then, many movies and commercials have been filmed here. The museum has memorabilia from the 1940s to present of both the movies filmed in this location and ranch life. Exhibits are constantly changing and updated. In the Museum you'll find production photographs, props, costumes, posters, scripts, and much more. Besides this, there's a winery, restaurant, an up-to-date meeting room, swimming pool, leisure and sport activities and guest rooms.
