Platoro Cabin 2
Directions
From Antonito, CO, follow Highway 17 west to its junction with FSR 250. Follow
FSR 250 northwest up the Conejos Canyon about 22 miles to Platoro. Turn left
on FSR 250.6A and follow it .2 mile to the cabin.
From the town of South Fork follow Highway 160 southwest for about 7.5 miles.
Turn left onto Park Creek Road which is also Forest Service Road 380. Continue
for approximately 27 miles, paralleling Park Creek for much of the way. Turn
right, crossing the Alamosa River, and follow National Forest Road 250 over
Stunner pass and into the town of Platoro. This stretch of the trip is about 6
miles long. The cabins are located on the southeast part of town. It is best
to cross the Conejos River using the lower bridge; this is National Forest
Road 250.6A. Continue on this road for about .2 miles to the cabins. The
cabins are easily identified by their yellow and brown siding and trim, as
well as by the Forest Service signs.
Note: Be careful not to leave Forest Service Road 380 and continue towards
Summitville. Forest Service Road 380 makes a bit of a hairpin turn near the
old mining settlement of Summitville. This occurs about 19 miles from the US
Highway 160 and Park Creek Road intersection.
