Rainbow Lake Lodge Outfitters

Welcome to Rainbow Lake Lodge & Outfitters in Colorado!
Our hunts are two on one, which means that there is never more that two hunters per one guide. Other arrangements could be arranged upon request as long as we have guides available. We take care of everything for you. We have several heated guest cabins for your comfort. Meals are served in Moose Hall, our cook cabin with space for dining. There is a deck out front for anyone that wants to eat alfresco on those nice high country days.

We are located in Big Game Unit 54 of the Gunnison National Forest. Most hunts will depart from our lodge either by horseback or ATV. This country can be rough and physically challenging. Although we have several areas that we can take almost anyone, being prepared for the physical challenge will greatly increase your chances for a successful hunt.

For those of you unable to ride or would prefer not to, we can offer many miles of great country by ATV travel or by other 4x4 vehicle.

Airport Information
The airport located nearest to us is the Gunnison County Airport. We provide airport pickup for free from this location.

It is up to the hunter to purchase his or her licenses, however we have provided the applications for you to fill out. Field care of your game is included. Meat processing, cold storage, taxidermy, shipping of meat, capes, and horns is hunter's responsibilities. Non-hunting companions will be charged an additional fee, which will be determined on type of hunt and area hunted.

Hunter is responsible for his or her personal gear, weapons, their clothes, bedroll etc. Clients will meet me at hunt area unless prior arrangements are made to meet at nearest airport. A 50% deposit is required to book a hunt with the balance due on arrival.

Hunters for their part should be in good physical condition. Colorado has a variety of terrain, including very rough rocky canyons and steep forested mountains at elevations ranging from 6,000 to 13,000 feet. An outfitter cannot predict where you will find your trophy, so be ready to go into remote and possibly challenging country. Have your rifle or other sporting arm sighted in and mechanically ready. If you have any questions, please feel free to call, write or e-mail.
