About Adams Ranger Station

Adams Ranger Station Cabin is located in the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest at an elevation of 5.2 ft. Adams Camp served as a way station along the Milner Trail as early as 1862. The Forest Service established the area adjacent to Adams Camp as an administrative site in 1919. Adams Ranger Station was built in 1932 for the District Ranger and his family. It last served as District headquarters in 1958. Since then, it has served as a work center, hosting a variety of summer crews. The historic cabin is available for rent year-round, except during spring melt, which typically occurs from mid-March to late May. Winter access is approximately 30 mi from Fish Creek Snow Park along a groomed snowmobile route. The cabin must be reserved in advanced; there are no walk-ups.

December 19, 2019 Stayed at: 01, Loop: ADAMS RANGER STATION

Stayed at Adams Ranger Station right after the 4th of July. A great place to get away from it all. But not the first time I have stayed there; my father was the District Ranger there in the 1950's and we lived there in the summer months, then move back to Grangeville right before school started. Brought back a lot of great memories.
