Monarch Cabins are located in the historic mining town of Garfield, Colorado, also known as Monarch. This sleepy little town is nestled in the mountains at about 9,500 ft. elevation in the middle of San Isabel National Forest. Mountain peaks surround the town with majestic views. Located right off U.S. 50, Monarch Mountain is only 4 Miles away. The Arkansas River, considered by many the capitol of Colorado river rafting, is also nearby. No matter what the season, the area is full of outdoor recreation opportunities: skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing; rafting, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, ghost-town exploring, and just plain relaxing.
