## Overview

Pine Valley Guard Station is located in scenic Pine Valley Recreation Area,
about 45 minutes from St. George, Utah. Built in 1935 by the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the station was used to house a recreation guard during

The cabin is open year-round and is accessible by vehicle during good road
conditions. Winter use of the cabin may require snowshoeing, hiking or cross-
country skiing about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at the entrance to the Pine
Valley Recreation Area.  
  
Many modern amenities are offered, including electricity. Guests only need to
bring a few of their own supplies to have a truly comfortable stay in this
charming retreat within the Dixie National Forest.
