One of the premiere outfitting businesses in the Colorado Rocky Mountains is for sale—Capitol Peak Outfitters is on the market. Situated in the prime markets of Aspen and Snowmass, Capitol Peak Outfitters actually has two outstanding US Forest Service outfitting permits—Aspen Wilderness Outfitters and Capitol Peak Outfitters, both with summer use days for horseback rides, fishing, and overnight pack trips, and hunting permits for elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats. The Capitol Peak permits are situated near its namesake, Capitol Peak, which is a 14,000-foot peak that dominates the skyline southwest of Snowmass Village and Snowmass Ski Area, and also access the famous Maroon Creek valley. The Aspen Wilderness Outfitters permits access the Hunter Creek area east of Aspen and close to the Continental Divide.
One of the most important factors in the success of an outfitting business is its access to good terrain and clientele. Capitol Peak Outfitters is ideally situated in an area with high-end clientele like no other business can offer. The joke in the Aspen/Snowmass area is that the billionaires are pushing out the millionaires, and an outfitter offering quality services can reach the top of the scale on charging for their services. Of course, the setting in the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness and the Hunter/Frying Pan Wilderness is absolutely phenomenal, with amazing views and a stunning mixture of mountain peaks, meadows of wildflowers, rushing streams, evergreen forests, aspen groves, and rocky peaks. The business has a long history of providing an excellent stream of income that will more than support its purchase price.
Capitol Peak Outfitters and Aspen Wilderness Outfitters has excellent permits to operate on US Forest Service lands for elk, mule deer, and bear in GMU’s 43, 47, and 471; bighorn sheep in GMU’s S13 and S25; and mountain goat in G12 and G13. Hunting is excellent with high success rates, particularly on sheep and goats. Hunters seeking trophy mule deer have a good chance of scoring on a truly trophy buck. The outfitter operates a large base camp for fully guided hunts and several drop camp locations for drop camp hunters.
