Rainbow End Stabilization and Recording

Medicine Bow–Routt NF, 1999

Rainbow End is a Depression-era motor camp on the banks of the North Laramie River. In 1999 and 2001, PIT volunteers worked to stabilize the NRHP-eligible Sunrise Cabin, first with a major cleanup and inventory of the cabin and then by laying rolled roofing on the stripped-down roof. Below are photos from the 1999 project.
