Red Mountain Enterprises L.L.C.  is owned and operated by David and Karen Dow. We live and work in Grand Junction Colorado with our four boys.

     For many years we have been backcountry voyagers in the San Juan Mountains. These mountains are arguably some of the most rugged, steep, and beautiful mountains in the country. They are filled with sunny blue days, unsurpassed scenic beauty, great snow, and alpine splendor.

     Steeped in mining history the ADDIE S and the MOUNTAIN BELLE huts are LOCATED in the heart of the Red Mountain Mining District.  Both of these cabins are located on mining claims, claimed in 1886, then patented, and owned since as private property.

     During the summer, the San Juan Mountains provide endless opportunities for hiking, camping, mountain biking, cycling, climbing, and mountaineering. Nearby towns offer an abundance of shopping, galleries, and history. The summer is filled with Music and Art festivals, and other great family happenings. The area is also known for its network of four wheel drive roads left over from mining days. These roads give easy access to many 13,000 foot passes, and unforgettable alpine scenery.

     The winter brings huge snow falls and great backcountry skiing.  The Red Mountain Pass area has always been a favorite for Colorado backcountry skiing.  At 11,000 feet the pass gives quick and easy access to high mountain skiing. Many thousands of acres can be skied in relative safety. Tree line is 500’ vertical feet, and a mile away. There is terrain for beginning telemark skiers, to advanced backcountry skiers, from bowls to trees. Ouray is also known for its frozen water falls, and the world renown Ouray ice climbing park. There is ski touring on groomed tracks in Ironton park, and skating on outdoor ice in both Ouray and Silverton

     We built these cabins in order to share the scenic beauty and vast recreational opportunities in this area with our families, friends, and any one else looking for a great place to vacation. The cabins were built to be used year round, easily accessed in the summer and winter from the scenic Million Dollar Highway (Hwy 550).   We hope that you will find these huts provide you a comfortable and relaxing mountain experience..
