About Muddy Guard Cabin

Muddy Guard Cabin dates back to the late 1930s and offers views of wildflower-topped meadows and snow-capped mountains. Originally used as a Forest Service guard station, the quaint cabin appeals to those looking for a peaceful getaway with hiking, horseback riding and fishing. Winter access is possible, but only by cross country skis, snowmobiles or snowshoes along a 200-yard stretch of road.

From the cabin you can drive to Meadowlark Lake or drive down Crazy Women canyon or take a hike around the area.

If you want a bunch of ATVs in front you, this is your place. If by chance you think it'd be cool to enjoy nature, skip it. I couldn't even get to the cabin because there were a half dozen trucks with 4 to 8 capacity ATV trailers blocking the road to get to it.
