The creek is shared with the property across from it and may not cross over to the other embankment. Other things to note 🏔️ We are at 9,100 feet which is pretty average for mountain towns around here. We recommend not overexerting yourself on the first day (especially coming from sea level) and drink lots of water starting two days before your visit. Most will start to acclimate after a day or so. Not recommended if you have heart/breathing issues. Buy travel insurance (and read the fine-print) if you think this could be an issue. We do not give refunds due to altitude-related issues. 🛻 From Nov through May, AWD w/ all-season or winter tires with min of 3/16" tire tread and ideally at least 5/16" tread depth is required to book the cabin. You may get stuck or jeopardize your safety otherwise. Written confirmation of AWD with proper tires is needed at the time of booking. ❄️ Our cabin driveway is regularly snow plowed, however, you may need to shovel it between plowings. You will need to shovel walkways and stairs yourself with the provided shovels.
