Summary

The area features both the historic rental cabin (reservations required via Recreation.gov, ~$30/night) and nearby dispersed camping—first-come, first-served with no fees. Amenities at the cabin include a wood stove, fire ring, and pit toilet; no running water or electricity. Surrounded by forested hills and open meadows at 6,500 feet, it’s ideal for hiking, wildlife viewing, and accessing the Continental Divide Trail. RVs not recommended due to rough roads and lack of hookups. Best visited late spring to fall before snow limits access. Quiet, scenic, and off-grid.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
