Elevation7600 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryLodgepole pines surround the cabin, filtering light onto forest floors shaped by ancient limestone and shale. Belt Creek runs to the north, Sheep Creek to the south, both carving through rock layers thrust up from prehistoric ocean beds. The elevation puts you in a zone where elk and deer move through the trees and mountain birds call from branches overhead. The cabin sits just 100 yards from the highway but feels removed once you're inside the tree line.

Lodging & AccommodationsKings Hill Cabin is a two-room historic accommodation built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. It includes electricity and essential kitchen facilities, making it suitable for up to six guests. "The bedroom is furnished with three bunk beds."
