Budge's Wilderness Lodge

Budge's Wilderness Lodge Horseback adventures in Colorado's Flat Tops Wilderness.

Budge's Flattops Wilderness Lodge has recently undergone new ownership and is now owned and managed by Wolf Creek Outfitters, LLC. We offer summer family vacation packages where you can stay in one of our on site cabins and enjoy horseback riding, hiking, fishing, photography and more! There are miles of crystal clear streams and lakes in the area and provide some of the best fishing in the state.

We also offer fully guided and drop camp hunting packages for Rocky Mountain Elk in the Flattops Wilderness Area of the White River National Forest. Visit us online at www.budgesresort.com for up to date happenings at Budge's Lodge and for booking information!
