Beautiful area. Quiet. No cell service. Good hiking. Kitchen was clean. Stars were incredible. Beware of lots of cow patties though if you have pets that like to roll.

Only propane and a hand pump for water was harder to deal with than imagined. Beautiful location.

The cabin was very comfortable. The cabin is situated off the main road, which gives an added privacy. The only caution is the altitude, be familiar with mountain sickness symptoms.
It was a great stay!
