My wife , our dog and I spent three glorious days in the West Elks at the cabin at Needle Rock. The history of the cabin, and the great restoration of it, lent to a very comfortable, restful time, surrounded by nature’s beauty. We saw, wild turkeys, foxes, bird life, and a herd of elk. The location was great for traveling around part of the Western Slope, from the Black Canyon to the vineyards in the area. Our host was very helpful and informative, and we will be back! I highly recommend this gem!
