## Recreation

This barn is adjacent to a hiking entry point to Rocky Mountain National Park
and has great fishing opportunities.

## Facilities

The AA Barn is an enclosed space and has two floors. The upper floor is not
available for use. The lower floor has electricity. The barn can be very cold
late into the summer season due to the lack of sunlight and lack of heater.
The barn can also get very hot during warm summer afternoons. The outside
corrals are not suitable for livestock but do make beautiful photography
backgrounds. Outside of the barn, there are handicap accessible vault toilets.
The barn is at the end of a gated, drivable road. The public has access to
walk on the road but does not have access to drive down the driveway. Some
tables and chairs are provided. This includes approximately 5 banquet style
tables and 80 folding chairs, and 13 picnic tables. Please note; you cannot
operate any device that produces amplified sound at the barn site.

## Natural Features

The mountains in this area of Colorado are beautiful but the lodgepole pine
beetle killed trees can be a challenge when it comes to photographs. The AA
Barn used to be a working ranch and old corrals can be found on site. The
Colorado River headwaters are adjacent to this barn and it is just below the
Shadow Mountain Reservoir dam.
