OutWest Guides

OutWest Guides OutWest Guides is a Wilderness Outfitter in the Maroon Bells/Raggeds wilderness area in Marble, CO. We have actually had hunters fill their tags in camp.

Trophy mule deer hunting, elk hunting, blue grouse & whitetail ptarmigan hunting, guided fly-fishing trips, overnight Montana-style expedition pack trips, and guided horseback rides are the specialties of OutWest. Situated in scenic Marble, Colorado, OutWest Guides is only an hour from Aspen, 45 minutes from Glenwood Springs, a short half hour from Carbondale, and just minutes from Redstone. We ou

tfit in Game Management Unit 43 in the Maroon Bells/Snowmass and Raggeds Wilderness areas. If you are interested in hunting a trophy mule deer in the high country, we are the place to book. We spend a lot of time during the summer scouting the big boys, and we know where they live. Elk hunting with OutWest Guides is a treat for anyone looking for a great western adventure. We hunt from horseback, and you will see some of the most spectacular views in the west. Our unit has a great elk herd and our camps are set at around 10,000 feet. If the weather is just right, you might have elk come right through camp. With that said, we are in the elk's living room from the get go. Let us help you bag your trophy. Archery, Muzzleloader, or Rifle hunts, take your pick. We do it all, and our guides are great hunters as well. We will hunt hard and go wherever it takes to find the game. OutWest Guides does not do what is just convenient for us, we do what it takes to provide you with a great hunt. A Blue Grouse and Whitetail Ptarmigan hunt with OutWest Guides is a must do for the serious upland game bird hunter. If you are use to flatland quail or pheasant hunts and have never experienced high country bird hunting from horseback, you have to add this experience to your hunting memories. Great dogs, experienced guides, world class views, outstanding horses, and worthy game to pursue make this hunt unforgettable. We have a very limited number of hunt dates available, so book early. Would you like to pursue a Colorado trout grand slam? OutWest Guides has access to waters where you can try your hand at connecting with 4 species of trout in the same river. You can fish for Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat, and Rainbows all in one day. Our guides specialize in teaching novice trout fishermen, and we can also show advanced clients a few tricks to improve their skills. We pride ourselves in having friendly, & knowledgeable staff members that will make your time with OutWest Guides very enjoyable. The scenery in our outfitting area is world class. Visit us during the Summer to view and photograph beautiful mountains, flowers, and wildlife, or come for a breathtaking, color filled Fall trail ride. Our horses are the backbone of our business. You will love the variety of breeds we offer. Our horses are responsive, gentle, and do not resemble those old nags on most large group trail rides. You may find a horse you just can't live without. We put a lot of hours on our horses in the high country to make them the best trail horses you will find, then we offer them for sale. We offer a variety of rides to fit your ability and desires. Call us early to book your half day or full day ride. You will love our views from horseback.

“Farm work doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t make you anything. It reveals you.

There’s gym strong and then there’s farm strong. They’re mutually exclusive.

The toughest women you’ll ever meet spend their days on a farm.

There are more uses for twine than you can possibly imagine. You can tie up a hole in a slow feeder, fashion a tail strap for a horse’s blanket, mend a broken fence and use it as a belt.

“Well that certainly didn’t go as planned,” is one thing you’ll say quite a bit.

Control is a mere illusion. The thought that you have any, at any given time, is utterly false.

Sometimes sleep is a luxury. So are lunch and dinner. And brushing your hair.

If you’ve never felt your obliques contract, then you’ve never tried stopping an overly full wheelbarrow of horse manure from tipping over sideways. Trust me, you’ll find muscles that you never knew existed on the human skeleton to prevent this from happening.

When one of the animals is ill, you’ll go to heroic lengths to minimize their discomfort.
When you lose one of them, even though you know that day is inevitable, you still feel sadness, angst and emotional pain from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. And it’s a heaviness that lingers even though you must regroup and press on.

You’ll cry a lot. But you’ll never live more fully. You’ll remain present no matter what because you must. There is no other option.

You’ll ask for so many miracles and hold out hope until the very last.

You will, at least once, face-plant in the manure pile.

You’ll find yourself saying things like, “we have maybe twenty minutes of daylight left to git ‘er done” whilst gazing up at a nonspecific place in the sky.

You’ll become weirdly obsessive about the weather.

You’ll go out in public wearing filthy clothes and smelling of dirt, sweat and p**p. People will look at you sideways and krinkle their noses but you won’t care.

Your entire day can derail within ten seconds of the rising sun.

You can wash your coveralls. They won’t look any cleaner, but they will smell much nicer.

Farm work is difficult in its simplicity.

You’ll always notice just how beautiful sunrises and sunsets really are.

Should you ever have the opportunity to work on a farm, take the chance! You will never do anything more satisfying in your entire life.

Well, that about sums it up, folks!” - unknown author

So true. All of it.
Cheers, Christina - Handley Acres Metal Creations
