So incredibly beautiful. The wildflowers were like walking through a Monet painting. The expansive view from the cabin is amazing. Keep in mind the cabin is surrounded by shallow water. It would have been 5 stars but 2 adults and 1 dog went through 3 cans of mosquito repellent and we were feeling pretty gross by the end. I still rate it as one of the most beautiful places I have camped. Even with the cabin as close to the road as it is we seldom had people come by.( it was the middle of the week though). Star were so clear. We had the milky way every night. The mosquito quit around 8:30 so the campfire was perfect. The cabin is in good shape and people are cleaning up after themselves. I have some great pictures I am going to try to add to the site. We shall see. The 2 trailheads down the road toward Labarge are worth hiking and we didn't see another soul. Little corral trailhead is an easy hike along a fun stream amd seems to be used more for horseback riding but we found very pleasant.
If you come prepared for the mosquitos you will find it the perfect place.
1 more thing. The road is very rocky and rutted. If you take your time it is fine but the last 20 miles we were only averaging about 10 Mph. That was up the Labarge side.

The cabin was in excellent shape, the overall cleanliness was good. The location canβt be beat, it is a beautiful setting surrounded by spectacular scenery. The USFS has done an exceptional job of upkeep of this historic building, the area is well maintained and the amenities were amazing for an isolated backcountry cabin. I appreciate the propane stove and refrigerator, a real plus for an extended stay

Thanks to Rick at USFS office in Kemmerer, we had the trip of a lifetime.
Early/1st of season up La Barge Creek to the Cabin at Tri-Basin, top of the world, then down the Greyβs River to Alpine, about -100 miles. (Watch the rivers grow)
Lots of wildlife, springs and streams everywhere.
Great Cabin at the top in the meadows.

This is the second time we've stayed at the LaBarge Guard Station in the winter, and we absolutely love it! This cabin is perfect and remote enough to make a few night sled trip a lot of fun. My buddies and I like to sled to this locations, use the lodge as a home base for a couple or a few nights of sledding and snowboarding. The beds are comfortable, the cabin is always in great shape, and it's just an all around great way to escape life and recharge your batteries for a few days. THANK YOU WYOMING!
