Today, these same shelters are where visitors can stay overnight. Homes were constructed to shelter workers who monitored the pipeline. Two dams were constructed at Olive Lake, and water from the lake was piped through an 8-mile wood and steel pipeline to the powerhouse to generate electricity. The Fremont Powerhouse was built in 1908 as an economical method for mining. The surrounding valleys once teemed with mining activity, primarily gold. It is one of four cabins located at the site near the town of Granite, and provides great flexibility for larger groups. Miner's Retreat is part of the Fremont Powerhouse complex, a hub for mining built in the early 1900s. Miner's Retreat is an old Forest Service cabin that allows guests to relax in the outdoors and also step back in time to when the cabin was used during the bygone gold mining days.
