Cazier Cabin is a historic Forest Service guard station built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. Located near the Greys River about 46 miles from Alpine, Wyoming, the cabin offers fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking and cross-country skiing opportunities. In winter, access is by snowmobile on a groomed trail.
The Corral Creek Trail is easily accessed from the cabin and connects to Corral Creek Lake and the Swift, Dry and Cottonwood Creek drainages on the west side of the range. Popular activities include hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding on designated routes. In winter, cross country skiing is available right out the front door of the cabin. Greys River offers trout fishing.
This rustic two-room guard station sleeps eight people on four bunkbeds with mattresses. Five additional guests may camp just outside the cabin.Drinking water, flush toilet and showers are available approximately mid-June to Labor Day. In winter, an outdoor vault toilet must be used.
The cabin has a wood stove for heat. The kitchen comes with basic amenities including a sink, propane range top, propane refrigerator, a dining table and chairs.
Cooking utensils and pots are not provided. Recommended items to bring include dishes, pots and pans, utensils, garbage bags, dish soap, dish rags, toilet paper, a flashlight, sleeping bags, pillows and cleaning products, such as bleach or disinfectant. In winter, guests must also bring drinking water.
The cabin sits in the valley of Greys River near Corral Creek at an elevation of 7,600 feet, and offers spectacular views up the Corral Creek drainage. The cabin sits in an open space with a few tall trees. A pine forest sweeps up the nearby mountain slopes.
The cabin is rather remote. The closest town for groceries is in Alpine, a 46-mile drive north on a low-speed gravel road.
From Afton, WY, take Highway 89 north about 31 miles to Alpine, WY. At Alpine, turn right (south) onto Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138) and travel about 46 miles. The cabin is located on the right (west) side of the road. Access is along a low-speed gravel road.
Great place to get away and relax. The cabin used to have well water and electricity but no more. Now it is equipped with a propane heater and propane lanterns. Only one in the kitchen worked during our visit. Make sure to bring a grill lighter or two. And some extra toilet paper as there was none in the bathroom. There was some in the cabin and we left some extra. The road in from big piney is a little rough but anything with a little clearance can make it fine. Lots of area to explore by foot or vehicle!
Nice relaxing weekend getaway. Love that the Forest service rents these cabins out. Definitely rustic with some modern perks (propane heater, stove, lighting, furniture). The pit toilet was clean (though short on paper). There was quite a bit of through traffic but nothing crazy.
