Description

Experience a 7‑day journey through some of Colorado’s most breathtaking wilderness—high-country terrain along the Continental Divide, encompassing the rugged trails of Mt. Evans Wilderness and the panoramic valleys of South Park, where pristine granite ridgelines, alpine meadows, and trembling aspens set the stage. In this limited-draw wilderness, you’ll roam vast, unfenced expanses (over 10,000 acres) with minimal hunting pressure, enjoying true fair‑chase in remote timbered slopes and open parklands where bugling bulls echo through crisp mountain air. Guided by seasoned backcountry experts—equipped with pack horses, first‑aid training, and intimate knowledge of every creek, saddle, and ridge—you’ll hunt for mature 5×5 to 6×6 bulls, all while ensconced in sweeping vistas, peaceful campsites, and the wild spirit of the Rockies
