Nurses Cabin: The cabin is in incredible condition. Excellent location in a spectacular patch of wilderness. As a heads up, the turn off is very hard to see. The cabin can't be seen from the trail and there is just a faded piece of ribbon at knee height to indicate the split. From the trail, the cabin and the lake are obscured by a knoll, so if you notice this feature on your approach keep a close eye out for the ribbon. If you blow past it, the trail dead-ends and there is a spur trail down to the lake. Make a right at the lake front and backtrack maybe half a mile. Cabin is easy to see from the shore. Trail is otherwise very defined. There is one tough stretch towards the wilderness boundary that i think is intentionally kept rough to keep snow machines from sneaking in. We had to take our skies off for this stretch but other wise a pleasant skin in, with just the occasional downed tree. Props to the trail crew and to who ever does the cabin up keep. Can't wait to return, cant recommend enough
