During the summer we make a couple of our rooms available as hostel space for adventurers on the Colorado Trail and others who are coming to enjoy the beauty and wonders of the Colorado mountains during the summer season.
​
Our hostel space consists of three distinct lodging options: a "by the bed" co-ed hostel space on the ground floor, two private bedrooms with shared bathroom in a newly remodeled apartment upstairs, and a handful of tent sites with access to an indoor bathroom. See below for details and photos.
​
Note that we only allow dogs in the tent sites outside--not in the buildings. We no longer offer drive-in camping (in tents, vehicles or RV's). Our tent sites are provided only as an overnight option for hiking guests looking for a hot shower and laundry facilities.

Resupply Box Instructions
We will accept and hold resupply boxes for reserved guests at no additional charge. Please send your packages via:
​
USPS at P.O. Box 629, Bailey, CO 80421 (any box sent via the Post Office MUST include the P.O. Box, not our street address (USPS will not deliver it here)
​
or
​
FedEx/UPS at 59786 US Highway 285, Bailey, CO 80421.
Please address your package to Two Bridges Lodge, Attn: [Your Name and arrival date] so we will know whose it is. It also helps if you put your name and arrival date on the small side of the box. We will pick up the Post Office delivered boxes and hold them in our office for your arrival.
​
Make sure you allow enough time ahead of your arrival in Bailey (and maybe a day or two earlier in case you move faster than anticipated) for the box to arrive. We have had hikers beat their boxes in and then leave before the box arrives.
​
We will hold boxes up to 2 weeks after your designated arrival date, then they go into the hiker box if not claimed.

Colorado Trail Shuttle Instructions
If you are a guest of Two Bridges Lodge and would like a shuttle from the trail to the Lodge, we ask that you make a reservation for your lodging (with us) before hitting the trail. We encourage you to hitchhike in to Bailey if you are comfortable doing so. Shuttle costs/policies are shown to the right.
If you are SOBO and want to come off before Rolling Creek, text our guest services at 970-610-6656 when you go into Waterton Canyon to confirm you are on the trail.
1) You will have intermittent cell service along the way. If your timing or plans change along the way, text again when you have service.
2) You should pick up cell service about 3 miles out from Rolling Creek. Call or text us from there with your estimated arrival time at Wellington Lake Road (a little bit short of the Rolling Creek Trailhead).
3) We will confirm receipt of that text and pick you up at the parking area where the trail crosses Wellington Lake Road.
​
If you would like a pick-up at Kenosha Pass, there is intermittent cell service on both SOBO and NOBO approaches to Kenosha Pass, so just give us as much warning as possible if you want a ride from there.
​
We run shuttle service for guests only between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays we will do a morning run at 7 and afternoon runs between 2 and 5 p.m. Outbound runs will be scheduled at the Lodge.
​
Rolling Creek Trailhead (between Segments 3 &4)--$20 per person each way (maximum charge $50 if you come in with a group of 3 or more hikers).
Kenosha Pass (between Segments 5 & 6)--$20 per person each way (maximum charge $50 if you come in with a group of 3 or more hikers).
We can shuttle bikes and dogs (for Outdoor Hostel guests only) to/from either stop (please request the truck).
If you request an inbound shuttle and we dispatch a driver, you will be charged for that shuttle even if you accept a ride or hitch down with someone else before the driver gets there. It is an hour round-trip for our drivers plus gas and wear and tear on their vehicle, so please respect them if you ask them to come get you.
Shuttles to other locations may be available depending upon how busy we are, shuttle and driver availability, etc. Costs will be negotiated at the time of booking.
Payment for shuttles is made the day of service and can be made via cash or card.
