Why are we called "Mountain View Lodge"? Well, for the mountain view, of course! You can sit on the porch and enjoy the view of the Sleeping Ute Mountain. The Ute warrior is resting on his back; his feather headdress on the right, elbows crossed, knees, and toe (visible on most days). Legend has it that one day he will rise up and drive all from his land.
