The White River National Forest is famous for its outstanding recreational opportunities, particularly hunting and fishing. At the top of the list has always been hunting the flattops elk herd, best in the nation.
JML is in unit 24 roughly 30 miles east of Meeker, CO, gateway to the White River. Home base for JML is a private cabin adjoining the forest, close to the flattops Wilderness area.

Our hunters enjoy above average success. Both deer and elk are available within easy walking distance of the camps. Our packers visit the camps on a regular basis, and the animals are packed out as time and weather permit. The four point restriction for elk has been in effect since 1985, so we have a large, mature herd. This, plus mild to average winters since 1983, has helped improve an already great hunting area.
JML has drop camps during archery, muzzleloading and the four rifle seasons. Space in limited to approximately 24 hunters per season. Reservations are taken on a first come basis and must be accompanied by a 50% deposit.

JML is a family business that has been outfitting in this area since 1961. Your requests for information and/or references are welcomed, and we are available by phone most nights.

Experience the very best in cold water fishing by taking a horseback ride deep into the Rocky Mountain Wilderness. The White River Valley has 111 miles of streams and 757 acres of natural lakes.Take your pick of Cutthroats, Brook, or Rainbow trout from Big Fish Lake where record seven pound fish have been taken. Enjoy Brook or Rainbow trout from Bailey Lake which is self sustaining, or the beautiful Swede Lake.

Do you like horses? Are you ready to learn how to care for and ride a horse? Want to spend a week riding? First you meet your horse. With hands-on guidance, you will be responsible for all aspects—feeding, grooming, saddling, exercising—of your horse for the week. We start out by learning about the horse and taking short trail rides. By the end of the week, we spend most of our time on the trail. Some nights are spent in a remote camp in the Flattops Wilderness. Lunches will be on the trail or by a back country lake. Breakfast and dinner are in the camp. Are you going to try fishing? Photography? Stargazing? There are many ways to have fun in the Colorado High Country! Come enjoy our special mountain sunsets, the intimacy of sharing secrets around a crackling campfire, wish on a falling star and enjoy learning to ride.

Sessions are limited to 6 students and reservations are taken on a first come first serve basis. Cost is $850.00 per student with a 50% deposit required. Categories:   Hotels and Lodging | Tours and Vacation Packages | Wedding Weekend Activities | Wedding Guests | Hunting and Fishing | Horses
