Where Adventure Meets Tradition
There’s a reason elk hunting in Colorado sits at the top of every hunter’s bucket list. The crisp air, the echoing bugles, and the sheer beauty of the mountains create an experience that’s impossible to forget. At Mountain View Adventures, every hunt is more than just a chance to tag a bull — it’s a chance to live a story you’ll tell for years to come.
The Sound That Starts It All
There’s nothing like the sound of a bull elk bugling through the morning fog. It stops you in your tracks. Your heart pounds, your breath slows, and for a moment, time stands still. That sound is the call of the wild — and it’s why we hunt.
When you hear it echo through the valleys of Colorado, you know you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
The Challenge of the Hunt
Elk hunting isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes endurance, patience, and determination. The terrain is rugged, the weather unpredictable, and the elk are always one step ahead. But that’s what makes it so rewarding.
At Mountain View Adventures, our expert guides are with you every step of the way — calling, tracking, and reading the land to put you in the right place at the right time. Whether you’re hiking through snow, glassing from a ridge, or sneaking through timber, every moment builds toward that one shot you’ll never forget.
More Than a Tag — It’s an Experience
Hunting elk in Colorado is about more than filling a tag. It’s about the sun rising over the mountains, the smell of pine, the laughter back at camp, and the satisfaction that comes from earning every inch of the hunt.
It’s about stepping away from the noise of everyday life and reconnecting with something real — nature, challenge, and adventure.
Join Us for the Hunt of a Lifetime
At Mountain View Adventures, we make every elk hunt personal. Our goal is simple: to give you the best hunting experience possible, surrounded by people who love what they do and a landscape that never stops amazing you.
So whether it’s your first elk or your next trophy bull, let your Colorado adventure start here.

Every step feels like a new adventure, and every sighting keeps you on your toes.

That Moment You Finally Get Your Hands on Your Elk
All the miles. All the glassing. All the early mornings and cold, quiet hikes through the Colorado mountains… they all lead up to this. You finally found your bull — and now, you’re standing over him, hands on your elk for the very first time.
There’s nothing quite like it. That mix of pride, relief, and pure gratitude is something every hunter knows deep down. You feel the weight of the hunt — the challenge, the patience, the respect for the animal, and the land that made it all possible.
At Mountain View Adventures, we live for this exact moment. The one where it all comes together, where effort turns into achievement, and every second of the journey suddenly makes sense.
The Reward After the Challenge
Elk hunting in Colorado isn’t easy. It takes grit, focus, and a love for the chase. But that’s what makes this moment so powerful. When your hands touch that rack, it’s not just about the trophy — it’s about what it took to earn it.
The cold air, the steep climbs, the snow crunching under your boots — it all fades into one unforgettable feeling of accomplishment.
A Moment You’ll Never Forget
Every hunter remembers their first elk — and every one after. The photos, the handshakes, the shared excitement with your guide and buddies… it’s something you’ll talk about for years.
And when you hang that mount on your wall, you’ll be right back in that moment — standing in the Colorado mountains, hands on your elk, realizing you did it.
At Mountain View Adventures, we’re proud to help hunters experience that feeling. Because once you do, you’ll never be the same.
A Massive Bull in the Colorado Snow

Lining Up the Shot
The air is still. The only sound is your breath, slow and steady, mixing with the cold Colorado air. Snowflakes drift around you as you drop to one knee, setting up your tripod. Your hands are cold, your heart’s racing — and there he is. A massive bull elk standing broadside in the middle of a white, silent mountain morning.
At Mountain View Adventures, these are the moments that define elk hunting in Colorado. The kind that make every frozen toe, every early morning, and every mile hiked absolutely worth it.
Precision, Patience, and the Perfect Shot
You take your time. Adjust your scope. Breathe. Line up the crosshairs and let the world fall quiet. There’s something about a snow-covered hunt that makes everything feel sharper — every movement more deliberate, every second more meaningful.
The snow sparkles under the morning light, your bull turns just enough, and you know this is your shot. It’s the kind of moment that lives forever in a hunter’s mind — that perfect balance of calm and adrenaline.
A Hunt You’ll Never Forget
When you finally pull that trigger and the echo rolls through the mountains, you know you’ve just created a memory you’ll never forget. The feeling hits hard — respect, pride, and pure gratitude for the hunt.
Hunting elk in the Colorado snow is something every hunter should experience once in their lifetime. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s why we do what we do here at Mountain View Adventures.

Elk Hunting in Colorado with the Snow Melting Away
There’s something special about hunting elk in Colorado when the snow starts to melt. The crisp air still holds that mountain chill, but the sun begins to warm your back as you trek through the rugged terrain. Patches of green peek through the melting snow, elk tracks appear fresh and clear, and every step feels like a new start to the season.
At Mountain View Adventures, these are the moments we live for — when the mountains come alive again and hunters get a front-row seat to nature waking up. It’s peaceful, it’s powerful, and it’s the kind of beauty that only Colorado can offer.
The Perfect Time to Spot Elk
When the snow begins to melt, elk start moving lower in elevation to feed on the first new grasses of the season. It’s one of the best times to track them — following trails that cut through soft mud and fresh snow, listening for that familiar sound of branches breaking in the distance.
The mix of cold air and sunlight creates perfect hunting conditions, and every turn through the trees feels full of promise. Whether it’s your first elk hunt or your fiftieth, this time of year never loses its magic.
The Experience of a Lifetime
There’s no rush like shouldering your pack and hiking through the quiet mountain slopes, watching steam rise from the warming ground. It’s the kind of hunt that humbles you — the kind that makes you appreciate every bit of hard work, every frozen morning, and every mile hiked.
At Mountain View Adventures, we’re proud to share those experiences with hunters from all over the country. When you join us, you’re not just hunting — you’re making memories you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life.

The Humbling Experience of a Colorado Elk Hunt
Tired, But Fulfilled
Elk hunting in Colorado is more than just a hobby — it’s an adventure that challenges your body, mind, and spirit. At Mountain View Adventures, hunters leave the mountains exhausted, sore, and tired — but in a way that leaves them feeling truly fulfilled.
The Physical Challenge
Colorado’s mountains are rugged, with steep ridges, dense forests, and long hiking trails. A single day of hunting can test even the fittest hunter. Backpacking gear, navigating snow or uneven terrain, and staying alert while tracking elk requires stamina, focus, and determination.
By the end of a hunt, you’ll feel it in your muscles, your legs, and even your lungs — but that fatigue comes with a sense of accomplishment that few other experiences can match.
The Mental Game
Hunting isn’t just physical; it’s a mental challenge as well. Staying patient, alert, and quiet for hours, waiting for the right moment to approach a bull, teaches focus and discipline. You learn to read the land, anticipate elk movement, and trust your instincts — all while immersed in the beautiful, humbling Colorado wilderness.
Even when you’re tired, every step feels purposeful, and every moment becomes a lesson in perseverance.
Humbling and Rewarding
Hunting in the mountains reminds you that you are part of something bigger. The landscape, the wildlife, and the challenge of the hunt all combine to create a humbling experience. You may be tired, but the reward of harvesting your elk, spotting a trophy bull, or even just soaking in the view makes every step worth it.
Hunters leave Mountain View Adventures with more than just an animal in the field — they leave with stories, memories, and a renewed sense of respect for the wilderness and their own abilities.
A Feeling You’ll Never Forget
The exhaustion after a Colorado elk hunt is paired with pride, joy, and awe. Hiking back to the cabin, carrying your harvest, and reflecting on the day’s experiences is a moment unlike any other. It’s the perfect mix of challenge, achievement, and connection to nature.

Getting Your Elk Hide
Photo: Elk Hide @MountainViewAdventures
The Reward of the Hunt
There’s a moment every hunter remembers — the instant after taking down your first elk, when you approach the animal and begin the process of harvesting it. One of the most memorable parts of that experience is getting the hide. It’s more than just a step in processing your harvest — it’s a connection to the animal, the land, and the entire hunt.
A Moment of Respect and Reflection
Walking up to your elk after the shot is humbling. The adrenaline of the hunt slowly settles, leaving space for gratitude. Handling the hide is a tangible way to honor the animal and acknowledge the effort it took to reach this point. It’s a reminder of the patience, preparation, and respect required in every great hunt.
Whether you plan to mount your bull for a European mount or simply keep the hide as a lasting memento, this step connects you to the wilderness and the tradition of hunting in a way nothing else can.
Learning the Process
At Mountain View Adventures, we guide hunters through every part of the harvest — including how to properly handle and care for the hide. Our experienced guides teach techniques that ensure the hide is preserved perfectly for tanning or mounting.
This is more than just a skill — it’s part of the story of your hunt. Every cut, every careful movement, reflects the effort, respect, and pride of harvesting your own elk.
A Keepsake That Lasts a Lifetime
The hide becomes more than material — it becomes a memory. Every time you look at it, you’ll recall the crisp mountain air, the sound of bugles echoing through the timber, and the thrill of your first bull. It’s a tangible reminder of the adventure, challenge, and accomplishment of your hunt with Mountain View Adventures.
Harvesting your hide is one of those moments that makes you pause and reflect on the journey — from scouting and tracking to taking the shot and backpacking your trophy. It’s a celebration of the hunt and everything that comes with it.
Preserve the Memory
Every elk taken with Mountain View Adventures offers more than meat or antlers. The hide, properly prepared, keeps the story of your hunt alive for years to come. It’s a piece of Colorado’s wilderness you get to take home, a lasting memory of a first bull and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Book your next elk hunt today and experience the full circle of the hunt — from the thrill of the chase to the satisfaction of harvesting and preserving your first elk hide.
The Key to Your Elk Hunt Victory

Scouting for Success
Every successful elk hunt starts long before the first shot is fired. It begins with scouting — understanding the land, the elk’s patterns, and the perfect spot to make your move. At Mountain View Adventures, our guides take scouting seriously because we know that preparation is everything when it comes to turning your hunt into a victory.
The Art of Scouting
Scouting isn’t just walking through the mountains — it’s reading the terrain, noticing subtle signs, and learning the habits of the elk. Tracks in the snow, fresh rubs on trees, and the sound of distant bugles all tell a story. Our experienced guides know exactly what to look for, giving you a significant advantage once the hunt begins.
Every ridge climbed, every valley surveyed, and every observation made during scouting sets the stage for success. The goal isn’t just to find elk — it’s to set you up for the hunt of a lifetime.
Guided Expertise Makes the Difference
Mountain View Adventures hunters benefit from years of local knowledge. Our guides scout with purpose, ensuring that every day in the field counts. They know where bulls are likely to be feeding, how to approach them without spooking the herd, and which vantage points provide the best opportunity for a shot.
Scouting with a guide isn’t just about location — it’s about strategy. Knowing the lay of the land, the travel corridors elk use, and the rut patterns gives you the edge you need to experience a successful hunt.
The Reward of Preparation
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a well-planned hunt unfold. When you’ve scouted with care, every step of the hunt feels intentional. You move with confidence, make calculated decisions, and know that the opportunity in front of you is the result of preparation and expertise.
And when that moment comes — spotting your bull, drawing your bow, or taking the perfect shot — you’ll realize how much the scouting paid off. It’s the difference between a memorable hunt and a truly legendary experience.
Make Your Hunt a Victory
At Mountain View Adventures, we believe that scouting is the foundation of every successful elk hunt. By combining local knowledge, expert guidance, and careful preparation, we set our hunters up for the thrill of the chase and the ultimate reward: a successful harvest, a trophy to remember, and a story to tell for a lifetime.
Book your elk hunt today and experience the advantage of a guided scout — because every great hunt begins long before the first bugle.

Whether you prefer a guided or semi-guided hunt, we’ll make sure your time in the field is as exciting and successful as possible.
The Thrill of the Chase
There’s something special about hearing that first bugle of the morning — it’s a sound that gets your heart racing. You’ll move quietly through the timber, glassing the ridges and calling in hopes of catching a glimpse of a bull moving through the trees. When it finally happens, and that elk steps into view, it’s a moment every hunter lives for.
At Mountain View Adventures, we offer both archery and rifle elk hunts to fit your hunting style. Archery hunters can experience the intensity of close-range encounters during the rut, while rifle hunters can enjoy the challenge of tracking bulls through crisp autumn mornings. No matter how you choose to hunt, the experience will leave you wanting to come back year after year.
More Than Just a Hunt
The best part of elk hunting in Colorado isn’t just the harvest — it’s everything that comes with it. It’s the friendships made around the fire, the laughter in the dining hall, and the stories that never seem to get old. Once you’ve hunted with Mountain View Adventures, you’re not just a guest — you’re family.
Every hunter leaves with memories that last a lifetime. And whether you take home a European mount, a full head mount, or just the photos and stories, one thing is certain: you’ll always remember your time in the mountains chasing elk with us.

The Thrill of Elk Hunting in Colorado

There’s nothing in the world quite like elk hunting in the mountains of Colorado. The crisp morning air, the scent of pine, and the echo of a bull’s bugle breaking the silence — it’s enough to make your heart race. At Mountain View Adventures, we live for that feeling. The thrill, the challenge, and the reward of the hunt are what make elk hunting more than a hobby — it’s a passion that runs deep.
The Moment the Mountains Come Alive
When you step out before daylight, the world is still. You can see your breath in the cold air, and the stars stretch endlessly overhead. Then, somewhere in the distance, you hear it — the haunting sound of a bull elk bugling through the timber.
That single sound changes everything. Your pulse quickens, your focus sharpens, and suddenly, you’re part of something wild and real.
That’s the moment every hunter lives for — when the mountains come alive.
The Challenge and the Chase
Elk hunting isn’t easy — and that’s exactly why it’s so thrilling. These animals are smart, strong, and elusive. Tracking them through steep ridges, thick forests, and open meadows takes patience, grit, and skill.
Every step matters. Every sound counts. The wind shifts, and you adjust. You move quietly, heart pounding, knowing the bull could appear at any second.
It’s not just about the shot — it’s about the chase, the strategy, and the deep respect for the animal you’re pursuing.
When the Moment Comes
Then, suddenly, there he is. A massive bull steps out, his rack glinting in the morning sun. Time slows down. Your hands steady, your breath slows, and instinct takes over.
The moment the shot rings out — or the arrow releases — every emotion hits at once. Excitement. Relief. Gratitude. It’s a rush like no other.
For hunters, that moment defines the thrill of elk hunting. It’s raw, real, and unforgettable.
Why Hunters Keep Coming Back
Ask anyone who’s hunted elk in Colorado — once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never forget it. The thrill doesn’t fade with time; it grows stronger.
Every year, hunters return to Mountain View Adventures for another chance at the chase. Some come for the trophy. Others for the challenge. But most come for the feeling — that rush of adrenaline mixed with peace, pride, and connection to the land.
It’s more than hunting. It’s an experience that grounds you, humbles you, and reminds you what it means to be alive.
Experience the Thrill for Yourself
Whether you’re chasing your first bull or your next one, the thrill of elk hunting in Colorado never gets old. At Mountain View Adventures, we make sure every hunter — guided or semi-guided — experiences that heart-pounding excitement and lasting sense of accomplishment.
