Best for
This resort best suits outdoor enthusiasts and travelers seeking a mountain retreat, given its proximity to the Grand Mesa, Crag Crest Trail, multiple lakes, and on-site access to Altitude Outdoor Adventures. It also suits small families or groups drawn to the multi-bedroom cabin accommodations for a multi-night mountain getaway. Winter sports travelers may also appreciate the relative closeness to Powderhorn Mountain Resort and Nordic skiing trailheads.
Travel tips
Given the resort's remote mountain setting, guests should plan to arrive by car, as the nearest airport (Aspen/Pitkin County) is roughly 97km away. Because on-site dining has been noted for slow service at times, building in extra time for meals is worthwhile, especially before or after outdoor excursions. Visiting the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway, Crag Crest Trail, and nearby lakes is easiest with a full day set aside, and winter travelers should check seasonal access to Nordic trailheads and Powderhorn Mountain Resort.
