The Area - We are about 15 minutes from the little mountain town of Nederland that has a variety of restaurants, brew pubs, shops, and music venues. In addition, we aren't that far along the scenic Peak-to-Peak Highway from Brainard Lake Recreational area, Rocky Mountain National Park, and further down, the world-famous music venues of Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, and Red Rocks amphitheater in Morrison.
The Space - The space is a few yards from the neighborhood road. However, it is very lightly traveled and barely visible from the road. Day and night are eerily peaceful and quiet from what you may be use too. Other than the sound of birds, and the natural world. Along the path from your parking space, it's relatively flat with trees, wildflowers, and vegetation. The path does have a few solar lights to guide you at night.The first thing you will come to is a traditional Plains Indians Medicine Wheel. It is there for your use for meditation, prayer, as a quiet space to move around in, or just hang out. As you walk along, next you will come to a comfortable wooden picnic table. There is a large water cooler provided with clean fresh cold potable water too.
The Tipi - Ah, the Medicine Shield tipi. is 14' diameter, and is pitched on packed earth. It is raised up about 6" from the ground which is standard. Tipis are not round; they are oval shaped like an egg. The floor has a heavy round indoor-outdoor carpet covering most of it. However, being oval, the floor is not totally covered. The door is a non-locking flip open canvas door. Be aware that occasionally insects and other small creatures may find their way inside. If this happens, chase them out with the broom provided. If it's windy the wind can make spooky noises at night, and may cause the tipi poles to make creaking sounds, the smoke flaps and the door to flap.
Accommodations - In addition to 2-camp cots (and a sleeping pad for a third guest); 3-adult size 3 season *sleeping bags; 3 portable LED lanterns; 2 portable folding camp chairs; a small round metal bedside folding table, 2 clear plastic storage boxes for clothing, etc.. *Nights can be chilly (or cold). While sleeping bags are provided, it is recommended that guests bring their own sleeping bags or blankets. Tipi’s are open at the top. During heavy rainstorms, some water may drip inside. Take note of the forecast. If rain is in the forecast. Best to be prepared and bring some tarps to put over bedding in case of storms.
*The Pit Toilet - A pit toilet does not have water and does not flush. It is a pit. It contains a wooden chair with a toilet seat, and is stocked with a roll of toilet paper, bag to dispose of paper, etc., and a metal ash can with ashes and a cup, to lightly sprinkle on poop to keep any smell down and flies away.
*The multipurpose deck - To the west of the cabana is a wooden deck with solar string lights. It could be used for meditation, yoga, or whatever your pleasure is.
Wildlife Moose - Look around for wildlife, especially moose. If you see a moose under no circumstances approach it. And, do not run. Slowly and quietly move away. Dogs are viewed as predators. Keep them leashed and quiet.
Bears - have a sense of smell up to 5 miles. Do not leave anything with even the slightest scent such as wrappers, crumbs, etc. in camp. Best to put all food and trash in your vehicle with the windows up and doors locked.
Mountain Lions – If you see a lion, under no circumstances approach it. And, do not run. Slowly and quietly move away. Don’t turn your back; bend, crouch down; or look into its eyes.
Elk, Deer, Turkeys – There is never just one. Slow down, or stop; look around, and wait till you don’t see any others (attempting to cross the road).
*About 100 yards from the tipi is another guest space for a tent or small camper vans. If it is occupied the toilet and multipurpose deck are considered shared space.
