Colorado Elk Hunt

It was nearly 70 degrees when the three of us, me, Clayton Newlin, Tim Molitor, started hiking up the hill toward what we hoped would be a happy hunting ground for massive bull elk. As steps turned into miles and minutes into hours we eventually made it to the top, 12-thousand plus feet, and 35-degrees and discovered not elk but …God. Clayton summarized it best when he said, “It’s hard to imagine how beautiful Heaven will be when you see how incredible this place is.”

And that’s why we go. No, we didn’t shoot an elk, for the third year running, in fact after all our hiking we didn’t SEE any, but we did draw some guys into a deeper relationship with the Creator. And that‘s priceless. We also took time to read and discuss the book, The Map, by David Murrow and I highly recommend you guys read it. I know, I know, you don’t like to read but it is that good and may change the way you live your life.

I also recommend you sign up NOW for next year’s hunt. We’re busy, right now, making sure we don’t get shut out again! It’s a great trip and we’d love to have you. If you’d like to see more pictures just visit our FB page at CrossHeirs Retreat Center.
