About
Old Shuree Cabin is a rustic Forest Service cabin situated in the Valle Vidal Unit of Carson National Forest in Colfax County, New Mexico. The Valle Vidal, meaning "Valley of Life," is renowned for its stunning mountain scenery, abundant wildlife including large elk herds, and exceptional fishing opportunities for Rio Grande cutthroat trout. The cabin is located near the intersection of Forest Roads 1910 and 1950, providing access to nearby Shuree Ponds day-use area, Comanche Creek, and the Rio Pueblo. Facilities at the cabin include a vault toilet, picnic table, and an oversized fire ring. The Valle Vidal area has camping restrictions in effect that prohibit camping within half a mile of Forest Service roads (except in designated campgrounds) and within 100 yards of natural waters. Access to the Valle Vidal is seasonal due to winter road closures. Visitors should contact the Questa Ranger District for current access conditions and availability information.

From Cimarron, take US-64 east, then turn north onto Forest Road 1950. The cabin is located near the intersection of Forest Roads 1910 and 1950 in the Valle Vidal Unit. Access to Valle Vidal is seasonal and subject to road conditions.
