Stories Shared, Adventures Lived
Shadowcliff offers clean and affordable accommodations in the Rempel Lodge, which regularly hosts Grand Lake’s Continental Divide Trail hikers and international travelers who come to us by car, foot, or on a bicycle. Our thru-hiking guests have some of the best stories and are definitely among the most colorful people to share the season with us.
Our thru-hiker guests have been an important part of our educational mission since our earliest days, when Shadowcliff offered men’s hostel and women’s hostel rooms until 2023. In fact, every guest room at Shadowcliff was built with the youth hostel model in mind and features one or two sets of bunk beds.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended.

General Layout: Take the stairs up to the 2nd floor of our Rempel Lodge. Also on the 2nd floor are the gender-specific shared bathrooms that include private showers. Bathrooms are shared with all the Rempel Lodge guests and staff.
On the main floor is our Rempel Lodge library, lounge, front office, hanging fireplace, and guest kitchen, alongside our own commercial kitchen. Guests are welcome to use the guest kitchen to store food and prepare meals, we just ask that you remember to label your food and either take it with you, pass it along to someone else, or dispose of it when you leave.
Please note our Compassionate Kitchen is not a restaurant and prepares food specifically for group experiences who have paid for such meals. On occasion there may be extra meals available or we will prepare a meal to be shared intentionally with the greater community, in which case tickets will be sold for a seat at the table.
