Whether you want a pleasant stroll or a good sweat, this area (north Curry County) has some wonderful options. Pack a lunch (we can arrange for a picnic in a basket or light refreshments in a backpack) and borrow the trail guide book in each cabin. If you'd like a personalized tour and the chance to learn about native lore, flora and fauna, ask us to arrange for a guide. The author of the guidebook is a local resident and available for our guests.
