Upper Crossing Guard Station

Get away from it all at Upper Crossing Guard Station, set in a remote section of the Rio Grande National Forest about 140 miles from Pueblo. As you approach the cabin on a short section of dirt road, you’ll be following in the tracks of the stagecoaches that traversed this route at the turn of the 20th century. Originally the headquarters of the old Cochetopa National Forest, Upper Crossing Guard Station can accommodate up to nine guests and offers most of the amenities of home. Still, visitors will need to pack linens, bedding, food, soap, dishes, toilet paper, and garbage bags.
