peaking with Dylan Bates, the owner and visionary behind RESET, an exclusive wellness and trekking retreat in the heart of Telluride, one quickly realizes that the man is dedicated to his mission. “As a hardcharging CEO, work duties were overwhelming, and I failed to invest in my health,” he admits. “After finding a week-long wellness retreat, I saw immediate and long-lasting benefits on my health. I left feeling like I had truly hit the reset button. I know there are so many people that fail to pause, invest in themselves, and step out of the daily grind to allow their mental, physical, and emotional health to reset.” And so, RESET was born with a focus on fusing posh amenities, rigorous physical programming, chefdesigned, plant-based cuisine and restorative and spa therapies, all designed to deliver a complete physical and mental reboot for those looking to shift from the grind to grounded. To get there, Bates’ idea relies on a simple strategy. At the heart of this six-day retreat, are daily, half-day treks that fully immerse guests in untamed nature.
