JungFrau Cabin, Colorado River Front, Easy Access, Secluded, Cozy Rustic Family Cabin
The JungFrau Cabin is a great family oriented cabin located within the Arapahoe National forest at an elevation of 8700’. It is near the towns of Empire, Georgetown and Silver Plume and only 22 miles to Winter Park and 22 miles to Loveland ski area. The cabin is easily reached by driving 1/4 mile off highway 40 on a very smooth, accessible, scenic road that passes beneath gorgeous aspens and pines. This road is plowed throughout the winter, and the cabin is easily accessed year round. You will need front wheel drive or better in winter months. There is a level parking area adjacent to cabin. The JungFrau Cabin rests graciously on a tributary of Clear Creek river on what was once the original 1870’s wagon trail over Berthoud Pass.
