    This is my favorite rustic hostel in the Rockies. There are no showers but the outdoor sauna is perfect.

    This is my favorite rustic hostel in the Rockies. There are no showers but the outdoor sauna is amazing. I love staying there in the summer or spring. I am going back in a couple of days.
