47mi from Elk Mountain · 3 sites · Lodging
Step out the door of this cozy little rustic, dry, one room mountainside cabin, to disconnect from Wi-Fi (none) and chaos to view sunsets, wide open, star filled, and moon lit night skies with the Milky Way and a few satellites as a bonus. The Little Cabin offers a mountainside basecamp, getaway, vacation or a more scenic overnight travel stop to allow you and your fur baby to enjoy some Wyoming open space. A microwave, insta pot, mini fridge and propane grill allow for simple meals to be prepared for inside or outside dining or stop for a meal in any of the communities along your way here. Bring water, cabin is dry and snacks. I do keep some basics in the cabin so if you are traveling grab a meal, snacks and some water, the cabin is stocked with the rest of what you'll need for a night's stay without having to unpack the vehicle. If you're traveling I80, the Little Cabin is a great place to enjoy the sunset or just a peaceful night's sleep after enjoying the Snowy Range Scenic byway in the summer and a possible work around if the interstate is closed in the winter. If you're coming in from Denver/Ft Collins, Co area, Poudre Canyon is a beautiful drive and can take you thru Walden, Co or bring you in on Wyo 10. Feel free to reach out if you have questions on the routes, scenic stops, cut overs or short cuts. There is Hiking, Fishing, Snow Shoeing, Cross Country skiing, Downhill skiing, (Snowy Range Ski Area) Hot Springs, Mountain Lakes, Plains Lakes, the Big Laramie River, all with in a 5-to-90-mile radius. There is public access, dogs allowed, to the Big Laramie River across the highway where you can fish or walk the public access path that runs alongside it. Watching the wildlife is an experience of its own. From Chipmunks to deer, we see an assortment. If you enjoy birds and their sounds, you can pick a spot and enjoy. If you are a weather watcher, you may see 3-4 seasons in one day depending on the time of year. It's a great place to snuggle in, read a book, write a book, watch a downloaded movie or just sleep, but disconnect from the chaos and the alerts.

Beautiful mountain land in the Snowy Mountain Range above Elk Mountain WY with a pond, outdoor kitchen, kitchen has propane grill, oven with 4 top burners, blackstone griddle, and plates, pans, kettles, silverware and cooking utensils. very large fire pit. 2 man hot tub for night time soaking and star gazing . 8x12 sleeping quarters with a full bed in loft and a futon that makes a bed underneath. No inside bathroom facilities. Lots of room for tents or a small RV or pull behind camper. Small zipline and trampoline for kids…or adults. Small dock at pond with patio set for relaxing. Elevation is 9428 ft, and there’s the medicine bow river within walking distance for fishing. The road leading up is a bit rough but if it wasn’t there would be too many people. Lots of wildlife that generally just walk right by you while camping. Very peaceful and private

Let the wild unspoiled natural world be your healer, and what better place to do that than Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. The forest is a whopping 2.9 million acre outdoor playground extending from northern Colorado to central Wyoming, and has got something for everyone and for every season. The diverse area also comprises the Thunder Basin Grasslands as well as numerous mountain ranges with huge elevation changes and diversity in terrain and wildlife. The area offers ample hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and riding (among other activities). In the winter come for snow sports and see everything in a different light. Lots of options for developed camping and even more for dispersed wilderness camping, mean you can really spend some time here exploring. Come and get your medicine!
