We simply seek to partner with those offering healing programs - music, art, yoga, couples and families, and more. We have nearly half a million acres of national forest surrounding our hidden valley with facilities, activities, and discoverables galore.
Bison Peak Lodge at Puma Hills is a retreat center dedicated to sharing the healing powers of the wilderness with Veterans and First Responders. Our mission is to provide a peaceful and rejuvenating environment where these brave individuals can find solace, reconnect with nature, and experience the restorative benefits of the great outdoors.
Moose visit our stream and willows; beavers build ponds elk & deer rub their velvet off on the aspen; fox, raccoons and ermine snack on chipmunks and squirrels; stellar jays, hummingbirds, chickadees and juncos fly everywhere and our of course our side is names "Puma Hills" for a reason
Bear visit in the spring and fall but with bear proof trash cans and storage containers big enough for the largest Yeti coolers, the bears move on to easier pickings.
