This cow elk has been hitting this exact spot consistently — and she’s not alone. The herd moves through this alpine basin all summer long, right outside the cabin door at Schinzel Flats Hideaway.
No trails. No crowds. No cell service. Just you, the mountains, and this.
This is what it looks like when you stay somewhere that’s actually in the backcountry — not just near it. 30 miles from the nearest pavement, surrounded by National Forest, and sitting in the middle of one of Colorado’s most productive elk units.
Hunters, wildlife lovers, and anyone who’s ever wanted to feel genuinely small in the best possible way — this place was built for you.
