south. It burned down in 1940, but some remnants of the old facility still
remain.  
  
The Ashley National Forest Vernal Ranger District has chosen to rent this
guard station to the public so visitors can enjoy a rustic experience similar
to that of the first rangers. Guests enjoy canoeing and fishing on Paradise
Park Reservoir, and exploring local hiking, biking and off-road vehicle
trails.

densely forested backcountry areas, and vast networks of caves.  
  
A variety of hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle trails

which begins at Paradise Campground.

## Facilities

twin-size bunk beds for four people, though no linens, bedding or pillows are
provided. Level parking is provided for a maximum of one RV/camp trailer.
Ample room for tent camping is available outside.

beautiful Ashley National Forest. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the
complex in 1934 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal instituted during
the Great Depression. It was a residence for rangers who patrolled the forest
on horseback prior to the age of modern vehicles.  
  
The Ashley National Forest Vernal Ranger District has chosen to rent this
guard station to the public so guests can enjoy a primitive experience similar
to that of the first rangers. The cabin is open for reservations all months of
the year except November, April and May.

area. In winter months, endless snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing opportunities are right out the door.

## Facilities

The cabin can sleep two to four people on one twin-sized bunk bed. No linens,
bedding or pillows are provided.  
  
  
The kitchen contains basic amenities including a sink, propane stove,
refrigerator, table and four chairs. **Very limited cookware is provided.
Guests are required to bring their own cooking supplies.**

789-1181, three business days prior to arrival, to confirm the combination
lock code. COMBINATION CODE REQUIRED to enter cabin. (Some combination locks

The cabin has a wood stove inside for heat, and a campfire ring with a grill
outside. A vault toilet is provided outside the cabin. Solar lights are
provided, however, due to varying weather conditions, they are not reliable.
