Booked hoping to see the Orionids meteor shower, but got snow and fog instead. It was still wonderful! Thanks for keeping this place clean and peaceful.

We loved our stay at the Summit Guard Station. The cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. The beautiful location on the ridge can’t be beat.

A wonderful camping experience, especially if you value seclusion and quiet! The view to the southwest is spectacular, particularly at sunset. The guard station cabin provides plenty of comfortable shelter for cooking, eating and sleeping while the station grounds still affording ample out of doors experiences. We definitely will return!
