Guest access★ GETTING TO THE CABIN ★
* The roads are paved the entire route
* The cabin is located on the ridge of Shields Mountain. The main road to get there will be winding and narrow in places (still room for two cars to pass each other). While some may be a little nervous on their first drive up, they get used to it and agree that the view is well worth the drive!

* 4-wheel drive is NOT necessary, except maybe in icy conditions

Neighborhood overviewThese are winding mountain roads. Many of the best attractions are spread out. The park is gorgeous, but it takes time to navigate for first-time flat-landers. There is generally no cellphone service once you're in the park, so be prepared with maps or screenshots. There are no cabins inside the park other than the ones you may pass on certain hikes that are 100 years old and not inhabitable. It's been a national park since 1934.

Getting aroundAs far as the mountains go, the journey to this cabin is effortless. The driveway is a little steep, but if you've been to the area before you'll have no trouble.
A 4-wheel drive vehicle is not required to reach the cabin. It is possible that 4-wheel drive may be needed in inclement winter weather. Or just stay in the cabin and watch the snow melt. We do not offer refunds for weather. While snow is rare, our winter guests hope for it as it makes the mountains more beautiful.
