| Upper Crossing Guard Station outside Saguache, Colo. is available for rent year round and offers great accommodations in a rustic, rural setting. See www.recreation.gov for more info. |
 |
| The cabin has a good propane heater as well as a wood stove in the fireplace. Electric lighting, running water and a shower in the bathroom make a stay here downright comfortable. |
 |
| The kitchen features a good sized refrigerator, electric stove, a microwave oven and a coffee maker. Just add groceries and enjoy! |
 |
| The cabin has two bedrooms with a couple of bunk-beds in back room and a single bunk-bed in the front room. The futon mattresses on these beds are always a little too thin so we bring self-inflating camping mattresses to add for a better night's sleep. |
 |
| Leave your cell phone, radio and laptop at home, there's no signals to operate any of them out here. Consider bringing alternatives such as newspapers, magazines and books instead. |
 |
| Sheep Creek runs through the property and is chock full of trout eager to take a fly. |
 |
| This is cattle country so it's best to watch your back while beating the bushes. |
 |
| Nearby Dome Reservoirs offer stocked rainbow, brown, brook and Snake River cutthroat trout in a remarkably scenic setting. |
 |
| Back at the cabin life is good just hanging out on the front porch. |
 |
| The backyard offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. |
 |
| Western sunsets replace the nightly news. |
 |
| And breakfasts are always better out out here. |
