Dover Hotel overview
Dover Hotel
One of the key reasons to visit the Dover Hotel is to gain insight into the Civil War era.

In addition to its historical significance, the Dover Hotel also offers unique architectural features. The building's interior has been meticulously restored to its original design, including period wallpaper and furnishings. The hotel also boasts a unique octagonal cupola, which provides stunning views of the surrounding area.
Visitors to the Dover Hotel can enjoy a guided tour of the building, which includes access to all three floors.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
