Although the stone structures on the site are in deteriorating condition, the property continues to serve as an important visual reminder of the early automobile highways constructed to provide access over Colorado’s high mountain passes.  A non-profit organization, Partners for Access to the Woods, is working toward rehabilitating the site as an accessible recreational area.
