Nothing remains of the station either, although remains of three foundations near the spring are evident. This was located about three miles or so to the east of the Cherokee Trail and the Bonner Springs Station. The Park Creek station, built by Ben Holladay on the banks of Park Creek, was unique along this stretch of the trail in that it had a tunnel dug from the station to the barn which served as a refuge during the Indian problems. The first station, built of logs, was destroyed by Indians. A second station was built which could accomodate overnight travelers.
Nothing remains of either station except some rubble, nails, and broken glass.
About four miles or so north of the Park Creek Station, and across the creek, was a large grassy area in the shape of an amphitheater. Wagon trains camped at this spot, approximately one mile square and surrounded on three sides by mountains. The trail split here, with one route going mostly north to Cheyenne, and the other going more north-west through the hills back towards Virginia Dale. A blacksmith shop was located near here on a little level area in the hills. Many wagons climbing the steep hills in this area found the blacksmith shop a welcome service, both for their wagons which may have broken down on the rugged trail, and any horses that needed to be re-shod.
