The most abundant water source on the Kaibab Plateau runs down a limestone cliff and pools near these cabins. The area is a working Forest Service administrative site, but the cabins are located discretely at the far end of the site. Nestled among lush vegetation and several ponds, the area is surrounded by ponderosa pine and rolling hills.

Recreation
