Built in 1925, the Rustic style cabin of hand hewn logs sits on a rubblestone foundation.  The property is associated with the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Historic Park Landscapes in National and State Parks Multiple Property Submissions.  

This property was removed from the National Register in February 2022, following its destruction during the Troublesome Creek Fire.

The district includes an intact segment of the original Fall River Road, along with a variety of historic buildings and structures associated with the road’s construction and maintenance.  The segment runs 9.5 miles from Horseshoe Park on the east to Fall River Pass on the west.  Initially utilizing convict labor, construction on what was the first highway through Rocky Mountain National Park began in 1913.  By September 1920, it was possible to drive from Estes Park to the western terminus of the road at Grand Lake in Grand County.

Constructed in 1938 to treat water for the Fall River Pass Museum, the Fall River Pump House and Catchment Basin are located in a remote section of Rocky Mountain National Park.  The pump house and basin are typical examples of National Park Service Rustic, a design philosophy blending buildings and structures with their environment through the use of local materials and specific placement that avoids distracting visitors from the surrounding scenic beauty.

Built in 1922, it is an excellent example of early National Park Service Rustic style architecture and served as a ranger station until 1932 when it was temporarily converted into a nature museum.

This collection of three Rustic style log buildings was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. 

The Estes Park Chalet, southwest of Estes Park, is associated with the area’s tourism industry.  Constructed circa 1920, the Chalet is an important example of the Rustic style, popular throughout the Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park area. 

The compound consists of six vernacular buildings, all constructed between 1877 and 1908 with rough-hewn materials and few decorative elements. 

The 1881 wood frame residence was built by Loveland cattle rancher William Hallett as part of his summer grazing operations in the Estes Valley.  It is a well-preserved example of Late Victorian era architecture.

The Crags Lodge, under the guidance of its founder and owner, Joe Mills, offered comfortable lodging, good food, and spectacular mountain scenery to Estes Park tourists from 1914 through 1935. 

Constructed in 1939, the one-story, wood frame building served as the administrative office for the Colorado-Big Thompson project until 1953.
