The cabin sits just off and above County Road 8 which is a Colorado Scenic Byway and a fantastic drive over to Yampa, CO in the summer and fall. It should be noted that passing cars are noticeable below the cabin on the road, but you do not have any direct neighbors. Generally, evenings are pretty quiet and weekends often bring more fellow adventurers to the area. With that said, wildlife is frequent in the meadows near the river in front of the cabin. There are resident bald eagles nested nearby and elk particularly enjoy the access to the river March-June.
The driveway is about 80 yards with a widened area at the top in front of the cabin for parking. Two vehicles can easily be parked at the top but must be done strategically to allow for turning around. There is room for three vehicles but turning around becomes an issue backing down the driveway is an option.
WINTER - 4WD or AWD is recommended November-March. Colorado receives quite a bit of snow during this time and generally 4WD or AWD is recommended when traveling in the mountains. Front-wheel drive vehicles with good snow tires will likely be okay during this time but caution should be used. The driveway can become snow-packed, icy, and/or muddy during this time of year. Some guests without 4WD choose to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up the 80 yds to the cabin. County Road 8 is plowed and maintained year-round.
TRAILERS - Small one or two-place trailers are okay to pull up the driveway if you are comfortable backing it down or able to turn the trailer around by hand. Additional parking for trailers and pasture for horses is available on private property just a couple minutes up the road. Please let me know if this is needed.
During the winter, access to the high country is limited unless you plan to snowmobile. Driving access to the Flat Tops Wilderness typically ends in November and begins again in May. Hiking in the winter is generally not possible and many of the trailheads are not accessible since the roads leading to them are not plowed. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are great ways to see some additional country.
