The cabin was lovely, clean and warm. There is a very loud creak in the lower bunk. I don't know if it needs to be screwed tighter or what. There are some pots, pans and games left at the cabin. The trail is long and rough; very rooty and very wet with water rushing down the trail in several areas and slick plank in others. The lake and glacier views are beautiful. There is also a large waterfall past the cabin about .25 miles. Enjoy!

The location was really cool. Unfortunately it was raining really hard the whole trip. So a wood fire was hard to get going and the propane heater wasn’t working. But we made due and had fun.
