However for those multiple days when the sun doesn’t shine, a remote controlled back up generator can be used to charge the batteries. The heat source is provided by an in the wall propane heater, which works most effectively. There is a small yard for your fur babies to hang out in while you enjoy the cabin and its surroundings. We ask guests to not leave their pets unattended in the cabin or yard.

Other Things of Note
Sitting at approximately 7300 elevation, in the high desert mountains close to the Continental Divide, the weather can be unpredictable. The cabin is closed for the winters due to the extreme cold temps, heavy rains and snows received, that make the roads problematic. Spring temps will still bring cold nights in the 20’s to day temps ranging from the 60’s to 80’s with late snowfalls and spring rains. Summer temps can range from as low as the 40’s to the high 90’s. The rainy season usually starts in July and runs to September, making for muddy roads. So 4 wheel or all wheel drive may be recommended since the road to the cabin is dirt. We also recommend guests to bring layers of clothes (jackets, sweaters, etc) for increment weather conditions. We also recommend guests to arrive during daylight hours due to the remote location, wildlife and possible road conditions. Guests need to be aware that Cell service is spotty in the area. It is recommended to get food either in Grants or Gallup, since there is limited choices close by.

RULES
Due to being on solar there is no usage of a microwave and hair dryer. There is no outdoor fires allowed due to high fire danger in the area. Small ash can with sand is provided for cigarette butts. Do not leave butts on the ground. Absolutely NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CABIN
