Colorado hunting outfitter · GMU 59
Chase elk, deer, and more across rugged canyons and high-mountain meadows. With breathtaking views and expert guides, your next adventure starts where the wild runs free.
Elk Glade Outfitters caters to experienced hunters, but of equal importance, we are proud of our ability to introduce adventure oriented people to the thrill and magnificence of big game hunting. Elk Glade Ranch provides professional guides. Our guides are patient and excellent in assisting seasoned professionals or teaching those new to the sport. We are here to make you comfortable whether this means enhancing your skills built over many years or introducing you for the first time to an unrivaled sporting experience. We’re proud of our guides and know that you will be impressed as well.
We look forward to making your Elk Glade and East Beaver Valley experience all that it can be, and we hope to see you for many subsequent years. We’re exceptionally proud of the number of repeat guests we see year after year — many who return with friends, family and children. We work hard to create and preserve an environment that fosters lifelong friendships, family bonding and memories.

Turkey Hunts – From $1,975 / 3 nights
Spring Merriam's turkey on the south-slope ponderosa benches above Sawmill Gulch. Three-night hunt at shoulder-season pricing. Calls, decoys, and blinds provided.
Learn moreAfter a full day in the field, you’ll return to the warmth of a restored, over 130-year-old miner’s hotel, a rustic yet welcoming ranch house managed by the Johnson and Hammond families. This isn’t a tent or drop camp — it's real comfort in the backcountry.
We are proud of our success rate — whether you hunt with a bow or rifle, about 40% of our hunters fill their elk tag and 60–90% get a shot opportunity, well above the Colorado statewide average. Season dates matter less here than the moon cycle and weather patterns, thanks to our remote valley, which experiences virtually no outside hunting pressure beyond our own operations.
While no hunt comes with a guarantee, we are deeply committed to giving every guest an experience they’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Enjoy hot showers, indoor facilities, hearty meals, drinks, and even a celebratory cigar as you share stories and laughter with fellow hunters. It’s this mix of comfort and camaraderie that makes Elk Glade truly special.
