The Flat Tops Wilderness of the White River National Forest
Well,
this is where it all happens! With mountains rising above 12,000’,
covered with evergreens, aspen and lush open parks, the White River
National Forest Area is considered as the most beautiful as well as the best of
all hunting. We have twice as many elk as any other area in Colorado,
and Colorado has more elk than any other state or country in the
world.
The White
River National Forest is one of the largest national forests in
America with hundreds of miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking,fishing and hunting. Some trails are open to four-wheel vehicles. We truly have it all!
Several
years ago I bought Ripple Creek. It is deep in the heart of the
White River National Forest of Northwest Colorado, adjacent to the
famous Flat Tops Wilderness. It is 40 miles east of Meeker and 200
miles west of Denver. For hunters, it is in Area 24.

| Ripple Creek Lodge |
The lodge
is surrounded by eight modernized
log cabins. All are complete with furnished kitchens, clean linens and bathrooms
with showers and heating. We are 10 miles from rural electricity so a large generator and propane is used
for lighting, cooking, heating and other early and late necessities
and conveniences.
We serve great meals at
the lodge but it’s your choice to eat with us or do your own
cooking.

Recreation
includes horseback riding, hiking, four-wheeling, photography, nature study, fishing and
hunting. Wild flowers blanket the mountain sides and early risers
will have the opportunity to see deer and elk along with many species
of birds and smaller animals. In all ways, this forest is
beautiful, bountiful and productive.
You can
do as much or as little as you please in an unregimented form of
vacation. It’s here for you and I hope you will join us for the coming season. You are welcome to cook in the cabins or eat with us at the below prices.
Yours for a great outdoors
experience,
