Stone Cellar Guard Station

Perched at an elevation of 9,499 feet, the Stone Cellar Guard Station offers a uniquely remote mountain retreat on the edge of the La Garita Wilderness. Located in the scenic Saguache Park within the Rio Grande National Forest, this site provides a tranquil escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The cabin sits nestled in a peaceful meadow with the serene Saguache Creek flowing nearby, providing a quintessential Colorado high-country experience.

The site is designed for visitors who appreciate a rustic experience, featuring basic amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Guests have direct access to excellent fishing in the adjacent creek, along with immediate entry to expansive hiking trails that wind through the wilderness. Whether you are looking for summer hiking, autumn hunting, or winter snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, the area is accessible year-round.

This destination is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a secluded wilderness getaway rather than a full-service resort. While it caters to cabin renters and those practicing primitive camping, visitors should be prepared for the high-altitude environment and the self-sufficient nature of this USFS-managed property.
