Durango Hunting Trips | Fishing Trips and Horseback Trips
Colorado Wilderness Outfitters offers wilderness drop camps for experienced hunters seeking a self-guided hunting experience on public land in Southwest Colorado. Drop camps operate in designated wilderness areas of the San Juan Mountains and are accessed by horseback.
Drop camps provide stock-supported access and a fully established backcountry camp while allowing hunters to conduct their hunt independently.
A drop camp is a self-guided wilderness hunt where Colorado Wilderness Outfitters handles access and camp logistics, but does not provide a guide for hunting.
Drop camps are designed for hunters who are confident in their ability to hunt without direct guidance.
These trips are not recommended for first-time wilderness hunters or those unfamiliar with self-guided hunting in steep, remote terrain.
Drop camps may be available for select species and seasons depending on licensing, regulations, and operational capacity.
All drop camps operate within Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations and wilderness permit requirements.
Drop camps are established backcountry camps set up by Colorado Wilderness Outfitters and accessed by horseback. Camps are designed for functionality and durability within wilderness regulations.
Exact camp location, layout, and access depend on season, terrain, and permit requirements.
It is important to understand what a drop camp does not include.
Hunters should arrive fully prepared to operate independently in wilderness conditions.
Drop camps involve the same physical demands as guided wilderness hunts.
These hunts require physical readiness and self-sufficiency.
Licensing requirements for drop camps depend on species, season, and method. Most drop camp hunts require draw or over-the-counter licenses depending on the hunt.
Pricing for drop camps varies by season, species, and logistical requirements. Final pricing and availability are confirmed through direct conversation to ensure the drop camp is appropriate for the hunter’s experience level.
