His spirit lives on as we welcome stargazers, hikers, wildlife photographers... or any travelers seeking rest & quiet, while surrounded in awe-inspiring beauty. Views are epic: Sangre de Cristos form a wall of peaks to the West. Wet Mountains to the east. Spanish Peaks to the south. Between is an expansive valley and rolling hills sprinkled with cattle & wildlife. The Space: Located 15 miles from Westcliffe, Colorado on a county-maintained gravel road, the cabin is relatively convenient to Westcliffe, but far enough to have privacy and quiet, like many visitors have seldom if ever experienced.
