First of all, no matter my age or his… I have always loved Robert Redford! I mean like… LOVE Robert Redford! So it is only understood that when I got all the facts about Sundance, he holds an even bigger part of my heart these days.
Go ahead and make fun of me when I tell you this, but I am ready for it. I am not sure if it was that I didn’t care enough or just ignorant, but I never knew the story behind Sundance or even what it “really” was.
When Andrew and I headed up to Utah for our first trip I read the walls and history and immediately fell in love. Robert Redford came across this amazing mountain and decided that he had to own a piece of it. In the late 60’s he purchased his first part of Sundance for $500. After a few investors later, they created a preserved part of these mountains so it wouldn’t be harmed by tourist or other multi-million dollar outfits. They named it Sundance. Along the walls it tells it’s story. It is fascinating to see everything… and I think I only saw Rob’s name about 5 times. He doesn’t want it stamped with his fame.
This is a place where I could escape life and find myself. There is a stream winding through the property and the only thing you hear is the wildlife. I applaud Mr. Redford and his efforts. Thank you for preserving this amazing site.
Here is the link to Sundance Resort… Enjoy and come see us!
Also, right down the road is a breathtaking waterfall named “Bridal Veil Falls” right next to “Nunns Park”! We haven’t made the trek up to the falls, but I will post the pics as soon as we do!
