Stay the Night in an Off-Grid Cabin in Fairplay, CO
This will be an amazing experience for anyone that books this cabin, guaranteed. It's the perfect size with a kitchen, living room, bunk beds, and back porch.

It's very primitive living so it would be best to have some off-the-grid knowledge, like chopping...

To begin this wonderful hike, drive from the town of Alma, Colorado and head up Buckskin Street for about 6 miles. I would highly recommend a a vehicle with some clearance. Consider even a 4x4 vehicle if rain/snow is in the...
