As of August 2020 the building still stands, however, it is in poor shape.

We took the Veta Pass route this past summer after a recommendation by Dylan. It was definitely a neat drive, and a possible journey with about any vehicle depending on the current weather. I had only heard about this leg of the NG railroad, and never really seen it. Some of the mountain grades and cuts through the rocks are marvelous!

It would be very neat to be able to stay in this Inn once again. If someone were to restore it, I would rent one of the first rooms for sure!!!
