Sinawav Trail Lodge

We would like to welcome you to the Sinawav Trail Lodge. The name Sinawav comes from the Southern Ute Creation story that you can read below. The Lodge was built in 1947 after World War II during a time when our great country was just getting started again. Most travelers were either business or salesmen traveling alone. With that in mind, roadside motels were built with smaller rooms because that was what was needed. The single rooms had a twin bed and the double rooms had two full beds. Traveling across the country as a truck driver for 33 years, I found that room size did not determine whether I rested soundly or not. A good night’s sleep came from a comfortable bed in a clean room with a refrigerator and microwave to save me the costs from having to eat out all the time.
