The Works Ranch is located at the north west corner of the park on Damascus Road, off Gap Road. The cabin is surrounded by a dense lodgepole pine forest, allowing for privacy and a true wilderness experience. The site is also close to many of the park's trails, fishing ponds, and the Reverend's Ridge amphitheater, where interpretive programs are staged during the summer. Guests can use the shower and restroom facilities at the Reverend's Ridge campground if they wish - a 1.5 mile drive from the cabin. Bring all bedding, pillows, camp stoves, utensils, and cookware for your stay at the Works Ranch - this is a basic camper cabin with limited furnishings. There is no refrigeration at the cabin. Camping chairs for the deck are a good idea too.
