Atomic Legacy Cabin - Cloned

***

Updated on 01/27/2021

The Atomic Legacy Cabin remains closed to the public. During this unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, the health and safety of our employees and communities are our highest concerns. To assure social distancing and comply with direction that nonessential activities be limited, the indoor areas of our centers will remain closed until further notice.

In response to the Jan. 20, 2021, Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing, all visitors to our outdoor areas — including trails, gardens, and parking areas — are required to wear a mask when they’re 6 feet or closer to anyone not in their immediate group.

We will continue to update our communications, if anything changes in the status of our indoor areas, and we look forward to the time when we can safely welcome our visitors back inside.

At the Atomic Legacy Cabin, we welcome you to view the exterior of the historic cabin with interpretive signs and the native plant garden with outdoor benches and picnic tables.

We ask that guests follow the updated guidance related to social distancing, provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and Mesa County Public Health.

Stay safe!
