Rainbow Canyon Rainbow Canyon is named for its spectacular multi-colored rock walls. Meadow Valley Wash, a year-round spring fed stream, waters thousands of trees along its banks as it flows through the canyon. Ancient Man inhabited the canyon and artifacts recovered from caves carbon date occupation to 5,000 years ago. In the 1860s, settlers established ranches in the canyon to supply beef, fruit and vegetables to the nearby mines and towns. The Conaway Ranch The history of the Conaway Ranch dates back to the 1860s as one of the first cattle ranches in the region. It was a favorite place of writer Zane Grey, who enjoyed staying at the ranch while he was writing about the wild west. Howard Hughes, Summa Corporation, owned the Conaway Ranch in the 1970s, where he intended to develop a destination resort. In the 1980s, a subsequent owner developed a 9-hole golf course on the ranch, which operated from 1984-86. The golf course is grown over with natural cover, but pressure pumps and some underground infrastructure remain. A community sanitation system served several homes and golf club facilities during the years that the golf course operated, and currently serves three existing homes on the former golf course.
