Other Things to Note

THERE IS NO GROCERY STORE IN TORREY. The nearest shopping is in Loa, Utah- 17 miles away. Come prepared with groceries or contact Danielle and arrange to have groceries or a locals welcome basket delivered in advance for a nominal fee.

Think ahead while making dinner plans. During the Spring and fall there is a high volume of tourists so make dinner reservations or expect to wait.

Weather

Torrey is located at 6,800 ft in elevation, so we don’t get the intense heat that other desert town experience. Summer time temperatures range from the mid 80's to low 90's , mostly in the 80's, during the day and mid 50's to mid 60's at night.

Winter temps are mostly in mid 30’s to lower 50’s with a few days in the 20’s. Snow doesn't stay long in Torrey but there is plenty of it on Boulder Mountain.

Torrey is a small town with population 350. It is spread out over a few miles on highway 24. The house is located just 6 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. Plan to drive to most locations although it's a fun bike ride on a summer evening to dinner.

Getting Around 

Torrey is a small town with population 350. It is spread out over a few miles on highway 24. The house is located just 10 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. Plan to drive to most locations although it's a fun bike ride on a summer evening to dinner. There is no public transportation in the area due to the limited infrastructure in our community. Last year we expanded the road shoulder to accommodate biking and walking all the way to the park.

Directions

Sat nav systems get overly creative when guiding you to the house. DO NOT USE the address in GPS. 

If using GPS, Google or Apple maps, enter the Wild Rabbit Cafe into the GPS and access the house on either side via one of the driveways. You can park in the parking lot directly north (or behind) the cafe next to the large two-story house. 

Check in Instructions

Park anywhere you want around the house. Stay away from the Wild Rabbit Building. The apartment is on the ground floor and is the middle door. There is a keyless entry system. The door code will be sent to you a week before your check in date. The door automatically locks all of the time.
