The Sage Motel
Platte Valley

Hunting basecamp

Elk, mule deer and pronghorn country between the Snowy Range and the Sierra Madre — with plenty of public land and room for your rig.

The Platte Valley

Saratoga sits in the heart of the Platte Valley, surrounded by the Medicine Bow National Forest and large blocks of BLM land. The area is known for elk, mule deer — the Platte Valley herd numbers in the thousands — and pronghorn on the sagebrush flats, with moose in the river bottoms and high country.
