The guard station provided us with an opportunity to live at the top of the Blue Mountains. Our love for the outdoors was truly met. We were able to explore the many back roads, and trails. It allowed us to experience nature at it's best. The
accomodations of the station were great. Thank you for the opportunity to learn the history of such a special place.
