The lodge positions itself for hunters serious about pursuing elk in legitimate habitat rather than guaranteed kills. The Flat Tops Wilderness holds Colorado's largest elk populations, and having private land access combined with public land hunting capability gives Ute Lodge advantages most outfitters can't match.
