Red Mountain Alpine Lodge

Life above 11,000 feet defines the Red Mountain Alpine Lodge, a custom timber-frame basecamp perched on Red Mountain Pass between Ouray and Silverton. Just 300 yards from Highway 550, this off-grid lodging combines rustic charm with modern comfort for guests chasing powder in winter, wildflowers in summer, or golden aspens in fall. We provide whole lodge reservations, private rooms, and loft spaces, ensuring your group has the flexibility to book the entire structure or secure individual accommodations. Because the terrain in the Red Mountain Pass corridor is complex, we strongly encourage visitors to book guided trips through San Juan Mountain Guides, our local experts offering IFMGA and AMGA certified ski and hiking tours. Guests can access popular routes like the Million Dollar Ski Traverse, Champion Bowl, and Imogene Ski Traverse directly from our door. For winter visitors, we offer early season pricing starting at $139 per person, which includes required lodge breakfast and dinner. To help alleviate parking pressures on the pass, we also arrange shuttle logistics for your group. Hunting units 65 and 74 surround the lodge, making it an ideal basecamp for hunters. We also host weddings and custom group requests, serving as the perfect hub for your adventures in the San Juans.
