Give yourself a break before and after Thanksgiving.  Present yourself with a Christmas gift during all of December.  Break cabin fever and away from the television set in January and February.  Enjoy the cool, crisp and invigorating air and peacefulness of the mountains during the winter solstice. Whether it's fly fishing, hiking or scouting/viewing wildlife, winter in the mountains brings a unique type of solitude.


TYPICAL SCENARIO: It's Saturday December 15th, the sky is a deep, beautiful blue, the sun bright, the air calm and crisp and a refreshing 36 degrees.  Whether fly fishing, hiking or scouting for wildlife, it's an absolutely perfect day for enjoying the solitude of the mountains and a great way to give yourself a break.
