The valley the cabin sits in is considered "The Gateway to Granddaddy Lake Trailhead", a popular trail hike for people and horses, the trail continues on to many other trails and lakes in the High Uinta's. There are many more hikes and horseback riding trails right from the front door along the North Fork River and a mile hike to a small 8ft waterfall from the cabin up a beautiful side valley following Swift Creek, pine trees and Aspens.
