Fremont National Forest is known for its towering snow-capped peaks, volcanic landscapes, wide-open sage basins, scenic vistas and wild places where visitors can still find solitude. Behind the cabin, an expanse of meadow stretches to meet the forest's edge, providing a perfect habitat for a variety of wildlife. Red tail hawks perch in treetops looking for field mice. Meadowlarks, Steller's jays and hummingbirds also frequent the area. Larger mammals, such as deer and Rocky Mountain elk find homes in the forests. In the early summer months there are a lot of musqitos, be prepared with bug spray and nets.
Recreation: Currier Guard Station is a wonderful location for hiking, fishing, horseback riding and biking in summer and early fall. The cabin is located one mile north of the Sycan Wild and Scenic River, a scenic spot for fly fishing. The river corridor winds from a steep canyon to broad meadows, containing a diversity of landforms, rocks and vegetation. Coniferous forests intermingle with riparian vegetation, and expanses of sage and bitterbrush grow in the drier areas. The river supports rainbow, brook, brown and bull trout. Hikers and equestrians will enjoy numerous trails threading through the forest.
