The arrival sequence to the Gateway Canyons Resort needed better definition and a new location for its guest registration area. DTJ reorganized the arrival drive, including a new Porte cochere and more extensive desert landscape to set the tone for arriving guests. The new registration desk and concierge area reflects the warm and informal character of the resort.

The Palisade Pool and Cantina offers a relaxing pool and entertainment environment for guests at the Gateway Canyons Resort. The Palisade Pool and Cantina includes two leisure pools, hot tub/spa in a naturalistic character. The Cantina offers a place for guests to compare details of their adventure of the day while relaxing with a drink and pub fare.
