How it Started:

George La Forge and Randel Aleman purchased and assembled Cave Lakes Canyon in 1996.  George and Randel have been friends for thirty years, and have bought and sold over 500 million dollars of real estate in Southern Utah and Nevada. Of all the properties they have owned, Cave Lakes remains their most treasured property.

Both George and Randel had a vision about Cave Lakes Canyon. In order to follow their dream they dedicated a lot of time, energy and money into acquiring the property. After three years of legal battles solving seller's litigation and risking to lose several hundred thousands of dollars in the process, their dream finally came to realization. The final purchase of the first 568 concluded in 1998.  Since then they have quietly assembled close to 1370 acres.  The Cave Lakes is thought by many to be the most beautiful, privately owned property in Southern Utah; truly a bold statement as Southern Utah is known for its breath taking properties. 

The canyon is truly a phenomenon! It features a 150-acre canyon floor bordered with 200 foot red sandstone walls.  One hundred and ten (110) springs are running along its path, forming  a multitude of caves some of them featuring a lake. Following their vision George and Randel designed and created seven additional  lakes cascading into each other.  They imported 800 tons of red sandstone boulders to create spectacular waterfalls, adding to the ambiance of this magnificent canyon. Numerous historic treasures are also featured all along the canyon dating back 200 BC to the Anasazi Indians and later to the official exploration of the Grand Canyon in the late the 1800's.

After twelve years of careful and strategic planning, Cave Lakes Canyon Ranch in now designed to be one of Utah's most enjoyable Vacation Destinations.
