About
Weminuche Wilderness Outfitters specializes in providing authentic, deep-woods adventures within the Columbine Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest. Operating primarily in Game Management Unit 751, they offer a comprehensive range of hunts including archery, muzzleloader, and rifle seasons. The operation is renowned for its focus on Elk, Mule Deer, Black Bear, and Bighorn Sheep, utilizing high-altitude camps that place hunters in the heart of prime wildlife habitat. Because they operate in the largest wilderness area in Colorado—the Weminuche Wilderness—their trips are exclusively horse-powered, providing a quiet and traditional “fair chase” experience that motorized access cannot reach.
The experience extends well beyond the hunting season; the Van Soelens are experts in summer pack trips tailored for fishing, photography, and backcountry exploration. These summer expeditions can range from single-day rides to multi-day journeys, allowing guests to witness the dramatic peaks and alpine lakes of the Continental Divide. With 37 years of guiding history, the operation emphasizes safety and hospitality, providing well-trained mountain horses and professional camp staff to ensure a seamless wilderness stay. Whether you are pursuing a trophy bull or simply looking to “get away from it all,” the outfitter combines decades of logistical expertise with a personal, family-run atmosphere that celebrates the heritage of the American West.
