Star Meadows Guard Station
*Dear Forest Visitor –* *We are currently planning major repairs and upgrades to the utility and heating systems at Star Meadows cabin. This work will require a temporary closure of the facility.* *Because the timing of the work is uncertain, the closure is currently scheduled for a longer period of time than the expected duration of work. If you are trying to book Star Meadows cabin during this closure period, we encourage you to check back regularly. Updates to the calendar will be made as the exact timing of the work becomes more certain. Our goal is to maximize public availability of the cabin, while safely completing the needed upgrades. Thank you for your patience and understanding.*
