I came here for the 1st time on my Birthday and I keep coming back for the deals. The people who work here are great they not only remember me but they also remember my dog and yes they do have a stash of dog treats. Very mellow vibe here and the prices are excellent.

I love Elk Mountain, the flower here is wonderfully priced and good. They have a big selection. Most of the time Troy has helped me. Troy is beyond knowledgeable and knows what kind of product I like. Darcy is another person here who has been great help. I for sure 10/10 recommend you stop by and try. Thanks Troy, Darcy and Elk Mountain.

I came for vacation and traveled to many shops in Colorado and Denver. Elk Mountain is by far the best. Tyler helped me with the best prices in the Rockies. Thank you Tyler for the great experience. It's definitely worth the trip. I live in Florida and would totally plan another vacation to the Rockies just to stop in Elk Mountain Trading Post. Shot out to Tyler if I didn't mention lol much love ❤️

It might be a fairly long drive from Fruita, but certainly well worth the drive. The budtenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. Here are some of the sights along the way.
