The following pages will help you plan the logistics of your visit.  Keep in mind the elevation is 7,000 feet and the weather changes rapidly.  It can be 70 degrees one day and 30 degrees and snowing the next, even in July!

We are located in a sparsely populated area where a hundred miles might separate towns.  Communities are rather small; some have a post office and nothing more...something to keep in mind if you need gasoline.  Cell phone coverage is "spotty".
