Aquarius Ranger Station

The cabin was wonderfully remote, clean, and well maintained. The pit toilet was also very clean and as good as a pit toilet gets. We very much appreciate everyone who does their part to care for and clean the place when they stay there. It makes a difference for the next people.

We always enjoy our stay at Aquarius. It would be appreciated though if the road in was grated. Some major rocks in the path. This was also the first time in our handful of visits that the bathroom was not cleaned before our visit.

I always like going to the cabin , I have gone there with friends for many years. We bring our mules and ride the Mt.

Had our family reunion here. Everyone really enjoyed the experience. Excellent facility.

The thing about Aquarius is that you don't know what you will find there, so you have to come prepared. You are not going to drive back to Loa for something you lack. We found the water in the sink working and lots of firewood in the shed. But note, it was the end of the season, not the beginning. The instructions for using the wood stove seemed to be missing, but we had used it before so that was not a problem. The solitude and beauty of the Aquarius experience are hard to describe to someone who has not been there, but for us it was another wonderful stay.

Great location for solitude and viewing the Milky Way. Just for all future visitors to be aware the description about hot water is incorrect. There is NO water going to the sink/water heater. There was a note saying "sorry for the inconvenience" on the counter from the Forest Service. Sure wish they would have said to bring a something to heat water for dishes when I called for the lock code. Honestly, this cabin is not worth the high rental fee. It's very similar to other guard stations at 1/3 the cost with a working sink. It is a cool location, but again very expensive for what you are actually getting.

Enjoyed every minute. Cabin was clean and had a great time.
