A gridless life. Most of us have a hard time disconnecting from our cell phones and computers on a day to day basis. This retreat is designed for you to break away from the ordinary and connect with nature and your truest self. Set in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, we'll take three nights and four days away from the stresses of daily life to allow ourselves time to reset.
The lodge features a spacious yoga deck for mat placement with our backdrop being the gorgeous Red Mountain #3 you'll have the option to summit. There's also opportunity for walking meditations and star gazing.
This will be my second yoga adventure retreat at the Red Mountain Alpine Lodge
which is a beautiful, brand new custom timber frame lodge located at 11,000feet on Red Mountain Pass. The cute little small town of Ouray is 20 minutes to the North and Silverton is 15 minutes to the south making the positioning of our retreat both convenient and remote. Located conveniently only 300 yards from Highway 550 just at the base of Red Mountain #3, we will have access to some of the best hiking Colorado has to offer.
Hiking options include:
Hiking to the top of Red Mountain #3
Hike the Powerline, Putney, MacMillan Loop
Run to Telluride on the Black Bear Pass Road
Hike to Richmond Basin via Commodore and Spirit Gulches
The 3,2,1, Traverse to Ironton
Hike to the Opus Hut on Ophir Pass via Mineral and Porphyry Gulches
I'll also be offering a day trip hike to Red #3 and you'll have the option to join us on the newly placed Ouray Via Ferrata with the San Juan Mountain Guides.
Leave your worries and bring your hiking boots, there will be no shortage of adventure at this retreat!

This brand new, premium off-grid timber frame lodge offers amenities galore. There are three private rooms and a large loft. There's four flushing toilets, three showers and 3 vanities, radiant in floor heat, a large living room and dining area and plenty of space to cozy up to read a book.

Rooms:
There are three private rooms on the main level each of which includes a queen bed and a loft above with two twin beds. The other lodging option is the upstairs loft with partitioned twin beds and privacy curtains. Participants will be placed based on roommate requests and availability.
Please note that even if booking a private room this is shared lodging. If you are a very sensitive sleeper, do not like sharing your space with others, or get bothered by roommates this may not be the retreat for you.
Can we bring our own alcohol? --Because the lodge is a licensed tavern, Colorado Law prohibits its patrons from bringing their own alcoholic beverages to the hut. However, when hiking, trail ales will be provided courtesy of my sponsor Denver Beer Co.
Where can I park? -- In the summer you can drive right to and park at the lodge.
Is there cellular signal, WiFi, and internet access? -- I hope you enjoy your stay more than your smart phone! There is no cellular service at the hut but WiFi is available should you need it.
Is there running water, showers, and flushing toilets? -- There is running water that is safe and clean for drinking and there is three hot showers and 4 flushing toilets.
What if I have dietary restrictions? -- The kitchen is please to accommodate dietary needs and requests. If you have nutritional requirements or allergies please specify upon booking.
Updated Booking Terms and Conditions due to COVID-19:
As of April 2020, all expeditions departing from 1 July 2020 will continue as planned. If there are any changes, or if your trip is suspended, you will be notified directly. If you become ill due to COVID-19 and have proof that you cannot medically travel and need to suspend your retreat departing from 1 July 2020, you will receive a credit of monies paid to use towards an alternative tour with a departure date before 20 April 2022 (excluding international travel retreats since I work with different vendors and booking companies for those retreats which have their own refund and credit policies).
Given the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, I have been adapting my booking conditions and cancellation policy regularly in response to evolving nature of the situation. The scale of the pandemic has yet to be understood and I am trying to communicate any changes to these terms as quickly as I can in order to be transparent with customers. I am doing my best for those that also rely on my business and providing travel credits helps me do that as well as ensures I am able to run future expeditions. Thank you for understanding!
Travel insurance is available upon booking through a private insurance company. No refunds of any kind if the trip runs as scheduled and all payments are final so if you think you might need to cancel for any reason please purchase the travel insurance to protect your trip.
*Yogi Magee Expeditions reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at owners sole discretion. If you are removed from the trip you may receive a full or partial refund at my discretion on a case by case basis*
Please note, in order to keep my costs low there are no refunds for your choice to cancel travel. All payments are final. If you cannot commit financially to this trip then you might want to wait and sign up. This helps me keep my costs low and ensure I have the minimum number of participants needed to run this retreat. If I cancel the retreat for any controllable reason (i.e. not a forest fire or evacuation of town) a partial refund will be given. Optional travel insurance for an additional cost provided at check-out.
Please message me if you have any specific questions on programming. I try and protect my intellectual property as much as possible from those wishing to copycat my retreats by not releasing a specific schedule but to retreat attendees.
The loft sleeps 10 and offers dormitory-style bedding. Loft features comfortable seating area, small table and a bathroom with a shower. Comfortable memory foam mattresses and linens including towels and robes are provided. Integrated curtains provide additional privacy. Please specify roommate request upon booking.
Each single bunk bed in the semi-private room has a comfortable memory foam mattress, acmes to 3 bathrooms and 2 shower rooms as well as 4 vanities. Windows have room of Red Mountain 3 or the surrounding wilderness. Perfect for the person who wants a little extra privacy but still doesn't mind sharing a room.
