Adventure is calling!

Ever wanted to journey to the back country to the ultimate Glamping (glamorous camping) cabin? Want to travel to a destination off the beaten path that requires some rough dirt road driving knowing once you arrive you'll only have to travel by mountain bike or your own two feet to explore? A place where the stars shine bright at night, unhindered by light pollution, where wildflowers are lush, the hikes lead to crystal blue alpine lakes and the meals are all cooked on site for you?

Oh yeah and there's yoga and coffee?

This re:treat is for you!

The OPUS is located near the top of Ophir Pass (county road 8) which connects Colorado Hwy. 145 on the west side to Hwy. 550 on the east side, five miles north of Silverton. This dirt road is well maintained on the east side of the pass (Silverton side - Hwy. 550), passable in a two wheel drive vehicle, with one small creek crossing. High clearance and 4wd is required if coming from the Ophir side. The town of Ophir, at the base of the pass, is twelve miles south of Telluride, Colorado. The drive to the hut is 3.5 miles from either side of the pass.

The hut itself is located 1/2 mile east of OPhir Pass, just off San Juan County Road 8. There is safe parking along the road as well as in a small pullout uphill of the road. There is a small sign for the OPUS on the road, from here follow the hiking trail uphill to the east 1/4 mile.
