Fitton Guard Station Cabin in CO
U.S. Forest Service allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Fitton Guard Station is a rustic high-altitude cabin sitting at 10,600 feet in a meadow along Burro Creek, flanked by aspen groves and spruce-fir forests. Accessible only via 50-inch-or-less vehicles, horseback, or foot, the site sleeps four across two bunk beds and includes a small covered porch, a wood-burning cook stove, a table, chairs, a fire ring, an outhouse, and a horse barn. Water must be pulled from local sources and treated. Nearby Burro Creek trails offer direct access for OHV riding, mountain biking, hiking, and winter snowmobiling.
The road in has not been measured -- unknown, not bad.
