This property came to me through a family connection and we are thrilled to share it with others. In the spring you ski or hike to the property from Camp Bird Road. Spring skiing or snow shoeing is spectacular. The road to the property is open late June or early July through October and is real 4WD or you can hike or bike in. There are many incredible waterfalls on site. The summer months bring wildflowers galore and lots of wildlife, along with great hiking on the surrounding 13 and 14 thousand foot peaks. Ouray and all of it's amenities are a quick seven miles away. Learn more about this land: This listing is for a new lodge Remote, pristine with full amenities and two gourmet meals each day included. The Mount Hayden Backcountry Lodge is located at 11,200 ft. in Richmond Basin off of the Imogene Pass jeep trail between Ouray and Telluride, Colorado. Situated in a gorgeous forest the lodge provides comfort and full amenities. There are two private rooms and two partitioned bunk spaces as well.  There is cell and internet. The conventional plumbing can even deliver a hot shower with amazing spring water. Bring your own sheet and pillowcase or sleeping bag but there are plenty of blankets here.  Hike, bike or drive off road ready, high clearance 4WD in from Camp Bird (required).  The base rate is $120/person/night, $25/dog/stay and chef/owner caters breakfast and dinner at your convenience. All dietary needs can be accommodated.  You won't believe the wood fired hot tub! Please see Haydenbackcountry.com for more information and exact directions.

I absolutely adore this place! Not only is it gorgeous, but the food was wonderful, the people were wonderful and the hikes were amazing! You truly are out in the middle of nowhere-so be sure and read up on the website. The cabin is set up for sharing, I stayed in a bunk room upstairs with a group of 6 other people that I didn’t know. I was a little nervous, but the bunks were comfy and not like your average youth camp! I drove up Imogene pass, and could do it in my 4Runner, but other people hiked in from Camp Bird. Super excited to come back in the winter.

Awesome stay
Eric is the man! He is a great host and even better Chef. The views and surrounding area of his property are amazing. We had a great stay at his cozy lodge in the mountains! 4x4 high clearance definitely needed to access his property. We will definitely be back!

Incredible in all seasons
After visiting in the summer, we knew we had to return in the winter, and the experience was equally enjoyable- and the skiing was incredible! Absolutely love this place, and Eric provides such wonderful hospitality. Thank you!
