The Summit Guardhouse is fairly remote and is accessed by a well maintained gravel road. It's quiet with amazing views of the valley below. Lots of great hiking and the whole area is very dog friendly. Beds were comfortable and the cabin came equipped with all of the kitchen amenities. We will definitely book this cabin again if we're in the area!!!

Beautiful sunset from the summit. Larches were turning in mid October when we were there. Road was nicely graded. Mountain bike is probably the way to explore the area. I did not see many hikes around the area. Plenty of open area to have great star gazing at night.

One of the most beautiful places, the views are extraordinary. Access is good , the bunkhouse is rustic but adequate. Altogether a great place to stay, am planning a return next year
