Platoro Cabin 1 is located downtown in the small mining town of Platoro, Colorado, at an elevation of 10,000 feet in the Rio Grande National Forest. The cabin was built in 1963 by the Rio Grande National Forest as base quarters for various Forest Service Crews working in the surrounding areas until the early 1990s. Today the cabin is a getaway for guests seeking relaxation and recreation in south central Colorado. Visitors to the area should be aware that Platoro is only occupied when snow levels allow driving access, which is usually less than six months of the year.
