Orange Olsen Dwelling

Orange Olsen Dwelling is located in the Joes Valley Recreation Area at ~7000 ' elevation in an open sagebrush meadow that is dotted with nearby pinyon-juniper and ponderosa pine trees. There is no shade at the Dwelling. The Dwelling is adjacent to Orange Olsen Cabin and the setting provides a panoramic view of Joes Valley & the Reservoir, which offers boating and fishing activities. A boat ramp is available on the east shoreline of the reservoir. Joes Valley Campground is also located just south of Orange Olsen, and Joes Valley Pavilion Group Campground is just north of the dwelling. The Dwelling has two sets of bunk beds and two single twin beds, all with mattresses, and it offers full amenities, including solar-powered lighting, water, and a flush toilet and shower in the bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with sinks, a propane stove, a table and chairs, and simple cookware (pots/pans, silverware, utensils). Basic cleaning supplies are also provided, along with toilet paper. The Dwelling may be reserved individually or together with the Orange Olsen Cabin. Visitors are not allowed to bring RVs and camp trailers to the Dwelling, but one utility trailer is allowed here. Nearby attractions include renowned bouldering opportunities in nearby Straight and Cottonwood Canyons, popular mountain fishing at nearby Grassy Lake, Pete 's Hole, and Potters Ponds (all within 10 miles of Orange Olsen Dwelling), as well as the 370-mile Arapeen Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Trail System that can be accessed directly from the Dwelling.
