## Overview

The Civilian Conservation Corps originally constructed the Two Color Guard
Station in the 1930s for use as crew quarters and bunkhouse. The original
building was removed in 1976. The current guard station was built in 1959.  
  
Two Color Guard Station is open June through October. Guests can drive to it
except after significant snowfall, when it's only accessible by snowmobile.
Guests staying in the later part of the season are encouraged to bring extra
supplies to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

## Recreation

The cabin is near the Main Eagle Trailhead, which is southern portal into the
Eagle Cap Wilderness (2 miles away). This trail is open to hikers and

work their way through the mountains to the valley floor in a series of small
waterfalls and whitewater rapids. The landscape features subalpine firs and
white bark pine as well as meadows that burst with colorful wildflowers.
Guests will find blue-green pools and dramatic rock formations scattered along
the creek's path.  
  
Two Color Guard Station is just a short distance away from the Eagle Cap
Wilderness. This wilderness is characterized by high alpine lakes and meadows,
bare granite peaks and ridges, and U-shaped glaciated valleys.
