Their main drive in base camp is located at about 10,500 feet right on the wilderness boundary. Here they can offer a few more comforts as like hot showers and full time cooks. Their more rugged backcountry spike camps are located on the edges of black timber just below tree line. There is also a very high chance that they could plan to use spike camps as well on your hunt from their base camp to stay right in the middle of the action!
Drive-in camps: Rio Grande National Forest, La Garita Wilderness boundary, Unit 68:

They will pack you and your gear into your location horseback or mule back and drop you off. You will stay in small one man tents and reside in the middle of the action for the entire hunt.
