The lodge is accessible by automole bile, the trip by dirt road takes approximately five hours. The road was recently constructed to deliver building supplies to the lodge. Being built by the construction program under the direction of Wes Jenson, the lodge is a tribal outdoor recreation enterprise of Ute Trials and Rivers. It will feature 20 guest rooms a restaurant and lounge, according to Frank Arrowchis, director of Ute Trails and Rivers. ed 100-mi- main-tainan- ce PACKAGE HUNT For the hunters who "have gun, will travel but don't want to worry about food, lodging, packs, etc., Ute Trails and Rivers will provide all accommodations at the lodge and on pack trips.
