Just completed the Circus Creek Guided Archery Hunt and the Dropstone Team hit it out of the ballpark on this trip. I've been DIY archery elk hunting in Colorado the last few years so I didn't know for sure what to expect...but I had a great time, learned from the guides, enjoyed the company of everyone in camp and harvested a bull. The accommodations are more than adequate, the food was excellent and the scenery was beautiful. While the elevation in the hunt area may not be extreme the steepness of the terrain will test your physical and mental toughness.

I would follow the Dropstone women anywhere (and hope that it is to a place as beautiful as The Bob). I unconditionally recommend Dropstone Outfitting to anyone who seeks a real backwoods hiking and camping experience in a landscape that will take your...
Read moreI cannot say enough wonderful things about Dropstone Outfitting!!! Their professional trips promote immersion in remote wilderness environments where clients participate in hiking, wildlife watching, swimming mountain lakes, exploring geology formations, photography, storytelling about old timers, or just plain enjoying solitude. Food is healthy, delicious, and plentiful. Safety is always foremost in all activity. I especially like the options offered on layover days - extra hiking and exploring to climb those higher trails and peaks or just hanging out in camp and enjoying the beauty of wilderness. Dropstone Outfitting's knowledge of and love for the wilderness make their trips truly unique...
