| The park features one of the finest examples of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) work in the Rocky Mountain Area. Hiking trails, roads, bridges and a museum are all products of the CCC’s efforts. Buildings made of local sandstones are extraordinary and are recognized for their architectural significance. The Castle, a massive picnic shelter, faces the reservoir and Laramie Peak. Work was started in 1933 and approximately 85% completed before the CCC was disbanded in 1936. Visitors can now enjoy Guernsey museum. The museum is located on a high cliff, overlooking the water. The building itself, made of hand hewn timbers and hand forged iron, has been called one of the finest examples of CCC building and architecture in the United States . |
