About
Built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the historic Meadows Guard Station sits beneath tall pines in a quiet wooded area in the Greys River valley, with Meadow Creek running beside the cabin and deer grazing in the nearby open meadow pasture. The cabin accommodates 6 people on 3 bunk beds and is equipped with propane lights, a propane cook-top, and a propane refrigerator. Wood is provided for winter heating via the wood stove. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, guests have the convenience of an indoor shower and flush toilet. During winter months, toilet facilities are outdoors. The cabin allows horses and provides corrals, though horses cannot be turned out into the pasture. A popular trailhead departs from just outside the station. The location offers excellent recreation year-round. Greys River provides fishing opportunities nearby. Summer activities include hiking, off-road vehicle riding, horseback riding, and mountain biking. Winter brings excellent snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Wildlife viewing is abundant, with moose, elk, eagles, and sandhill cranes commonly spotted. The cabin sits within the 3.4-million-acre Bridger-Teton National Forest, part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
