Inside the cabin in the kitchen you have most of the conveniences of a modern urban home. Running water and an outlet for power. However, if you need anything heated including food or water you need to burn wood.

It takes a car about 45 minutes to drive up to this point on the mountains if they are allowed and it takes a few hours to hike here. The hikers are greeted by a cabin that a family lives in during the summer taking care of the cows that are not mature enough to produce milk. They offer the hikers a place to rest and to purchase food and drink.

Living up here taking care of cows and hikers while looking after their 1 year old daughter is not easy. I even took on the parental duty while they worked to help them out. It was great fun and I even learned a lot about myself at the same time. She really enjoys playing with the rocks on the ground and all of the hikers loved her and made them smile.
