The cabins

Highlight • Historical Site

The two rustic cabins were constructed by the German family Meiss around 1880 with 1,000 acres of land around them. The forest service bought the land back in 1965. Today a short trail leads to the scenic cabins.

We walk here in the heart of plains dotted with many colorful flowers. It is an absolutely magnificent passage, even if the good weather is not there!
