Packages - Mountain Goat Lodge

Have you always wanted to try fly-fishing but been reluctant to invest in the equipment? Are you in the valley on business or for a family event, not realizing when you left your gear at home that you’d be visiting one of the great fisheries of Colorado? Relax! We’ve got you covered!

Our Never Ever Package combines our half-day guided wade fishing trip with use of all equipment, terminal tackle and flies, and a one-day Colorado fishing license. All for one simple price. You can literally walk into our shop in Salida wearing street clothes and a smile and we’ll outfit you completely for a 1/2 day of guided fishing.

Includes the state park use fee.

Gratuities not included.

A full day float on the Arkansas is the best way to take the full measure of this river and its fishery. Typically running from 8:00 to 5:00 and covering nine to twenty miles of water (depending on flows), anglers on this trip work through the various periods of the day from the fish’s perspective, changing flies and rigs to imitate different aquatic insects, altering depth or type of water fished in response to the behavior of the fish. In addition to the sheer amount of water covered and the variety of feeding patterns experienced through the day, the full day trip provides more time and flexibility for working a pod of rising fish, stopping to wade a productive shelf line, or making multiple passes at suspended fish on a seam. Lunch included. State Park fees and license included. Gratuties not included.

Season runs June 15th to October 31st. Ride the Divide! We will drop you and your bike at Poncha Springs where you will be shuttled to the top of Monarch Pass. We provide a hearty lunch, snacks and bottled water for your trip. At that point, you will be at a starting elevation of 11,312 feet. The Monarch Crest Trail has a number of other names and is able to connect to a number of other trails with varying degrees of difficulty. Because of the distance and high elevation, this ride should only be considered for the most advanced riders.

The Monarch Crest can be considered an extreme coss-country ride, do not be fooled because it is a shuttled ride. Be prepared with all the tools needed to do self-service along the trail. Also be prepared for afternoon thunderstorms. 8AM or 10AM start times.

The Canyon Aerial Course (CAC) complex is an amazing structure tucked into the Lost Canyon. Surrounded by rugged and colorful limestone cliffs, the Canyon Aerial Course consists of more than 120 interconnected "challenge elements" including swinging bridges, cargo nets, balance beams, tunnels and more. It is a high ropes challenge course on steroids with elements ranging from easy to extreme. The 120 elements are broken into 9 course routes. Routes consist of 8-13 elements and are graded much like ski runs.
