Sunrise Cabins (former)

The Sunrise cabin operation was managed as a Dude Ranch, where visitors could partake in horse trips. By 1943, the park service removed the cabins and sold them for emergency World War II housing. They weren't structurally fit for Sunrise's harsh weather; weren't popular; and weren't compatible with the fragile high elevation environment. The footprints to the cabins can still be seen over 70 years later.
