The Bison Peak Lodge is located in Colorado's Tarryall River Valley about 2 hours southwest of Denver-- at the geographic center of the state. The lodge looks right out at Bison Peak, the highest peak in the Tarryall Mountains (12.486 ft) and is nestled along Second Creek at the base of Farnum Peak , one of the higher points in the Puma Hills. The Tarryall high country is encompassed within the Lost Creek Wilderness. Farnum Peak is now part of the "Wild 10" areas being studied for designation as a Wilderness Area. Originally part of the Wheeler homestead, the land was first inhabitated in the 1870's and was utilized for farming and ranching up until more recent times. In 1985, development began on the Outpost Wilderness Adventure Base Camp facility and today, the Bison Peak Lodge serves both as the OWA Base Camp and as a state of the art adventure lodging retreat.

What is adventure lodging? Simply put........an adventure lodge combines accommodations with access to a variety of adventure activities in a natural outdoor setting. Our particular brand of adventure lodge offers outstanding opportunities for fly fishing, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, trail running, and more on a mix of private and public land with comfortable accommodations, fine meals and a spectacular setting to round out each experience. Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or a curious novice, our goal is to provide a state of the art experience built around personalized and individualized service. Each stay includes access to our private terrain, use of our equipment including bikes and fly fishing gear, interesting menus built around your tastes, private rooms, the availability of experienced adventure guides (or do it on your own) and exclusive use of the entire facility for groups larger than 6.

 

Exclusive use of the lodge for groups of 6 or more.

True Access- Show up and you can be fishing, riding, climbing or hiking in 30 minutes! No wasted time driving or figuring out how it all works. We'll give you all the local scoop or provide you with a professional guide-- whatever the case you won't have to waste your vacation time trying to figure out what to do or where to do it.

Exceptional and Healthy Meals- Natural foods are our specialty. Interesting menus that feature free range meats or vegetarian options. After busy days of adventuring you deserve a special meal!

We're Small- Nope, we're not a resort. No hoopla, no bell service, no in-room TV, no valet service, no dress code. We like working with individuals and our focus is on customizing your stay around the things you want to do. It's kind of like having your own private mountain lodge that is ready and waiting for your arrival............
