Our trailhead begins at an elevation of roughly 9,250 feet. It extends into a wilderness study area where only foot and horseback travel is allowed. The area extends all the way to the top of two of Colorado’s 14,000 foot peaks.

The lower portion of the area is covered in aspen and pine trees with high alpine meadows and clearings scattered throughout. The upper portion of the area is entirely above timberline. There are excellent spot and stalk opportunities in both areas as well as bugling and calling opportunities well into the rifle seasons.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife estimates the states elk heard at close to 300,000 animals. This hunting area is located in one of the states limited draw units, Unit 66. The limited draw units are managed for higher quality animals, giving our clients excellent opportunities for above average bulls. In addition, this permit has been hunted very lightly over the past four years, further increasing the average age of the bulls.

Our guests stay in heated canvas outfitter tents equipped with cots and other amenities. Our guests will arrive the morning before the hunt and we will ride by horseback to our base camp. Camps are located several miles from the roads and are only accessible by foot or horseback. The horses are kept in camp and are used for traveling and packing purposes. Hunts are conducted mainly by foot, as it is more productive. Our horses are calm, gentle, and sure-footed for even the least-experienced horseman. We will travel in the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains for seven days searching for that one special trophy. The morning following, we will pack out and hope to see you back the following year.

We at Lake City Outfitters will strive to make your experience with us the best it can possibly be. We are dedicated and know what it takes to make a hunt successful and enjoyable. We will provide a hunt that you will remember for a lifetime.
