Elevation7910 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe cabin sits at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, the eroded remnants of an ancient volcano. Volcanic soils have created a patchwork landscape where expansive grasslands meet ponderosa pine forests. From the porch, views stretch across Kendrick Mountain and the surrounding peaks. Slopes built from millions of years of volcanic activity, their stories written in stone and ash. Elk graze the meadows at dawn. Mule deer move through the trees, pronghorn antelope cross the open spaces, and mountain lions prowl the area. The isolation is real. One visitor notes the views are beautiful, another recommends the lava tube cave nearby.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe cabin includes multiple rooms across two stories, equipped with a solar lighting system, propane stovetop range, small refrigerator, dining area, and furniture. "Furniture includes two futon couches in living room, one double bed in the downstairs bedroom, and two twin beds in each of the two upstairs bedrooms."
