This is what the cabin looked like 45 years ago. It's along the 4WD trail up Steven's Gulch to the trailhead for hiking Gray's & Torrey's Peaks. There are some photos on Google Maps taken in the last few years showing it's still standing. There was a trail to the right just past the cabin that led to the east portal. I think I was on or near that trail for the photo. I was there again a few years later, but don't seem to have taken any photos on that trip, and only the one shot of the cabin on the first trip. I don't know why I didn't take any photos of the tunnel portal. There was a grate over the portal, but it was easy to climb through and walk all the way to the end of the main bore, which I think was about 1,000 feet in. There was a slight bend near the portal, which made most of the tunnel extremely dark. I had to watch my head most of the way because the top of the bore was typically less than 7' high, and there were plenty of points where it was less than 6'. I'd heard that the portal was more effectively closed after the last time I was there, but I have no idea what's it's like now.
