Aspen Guard Station in Colorado. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 939 public campsites we map in Colorado.

You’re in for a treat when you rent Aspen Guard Station’s beautiful cabin. Built between 1938-1940, this cabin offers a visit to the past while being near enough to civilization to have a foot in both worlds. This old cabin housed the Forest Service Rangers who patrolled the forests, often on horseback, checking timber and livestock permits, helping neighboring cabin dwellers and the public, much like today. Recreation Hiking, wildlife sightings. Mountain bike riding, ATV/UTV access.
