Caribou Mountain Guard Station

The cabin was great, plenty of space, everything was in good repair. We loved the access to lots of 4wheeling trails. The only reason I gave this cabin 3 stars was because the mosquitos were horrible. We were eaten alive and didn't even do a camp fire because there were too many of them.

The drive to the cabin was fine. All new country. That drive from Soda Springs up past Grey's lake was beautiful. Any 2-wheel drive vehicle will do just fine. The cabin was in good shape, but I was expecting mattresses on the beds like at other FS cabins and there was none. Slept on the plywood which made for a long uncomfortable night. Not sure who's fault that was. Mine I suppose for assuming mattresses would be there. Second issue was there was No cookware, silverware, cups, etc. Fortunately I brought one pot and one tin cup. We made a spoon out of plastic packaging material and my partner and I took turns using the little cup to eat chili. I suppose that was my fault too. Lastly, the mosquitos were HORRENDOUS. We met a cowboy who drove up. Nice guy. The next morning we were chomping at the bit to leave when a herd of sheep came by the road in front of the cabin. That was pretty fun. Fortunately we only rented the place for one night. Maybe at another time of year it would be better but it was too buggy to sit outside and too hot to sit inside. The drive out down McCoy creek was real nice. Managed to catch a couple of cutthroats and it got less buggy too. I probably won't be back yet I'm glad I went!

This is a great area, but definitely not for summer! The mosquitos were so bad that we left after one night. Also getting into the cabin was kind of confusing. The code is on the bottom of the lock on the back door. The picnic bench out back and fire ring aren't that nice and on a hill. Looks like a fun trail out behind the cabin, but we didn't explore b/c we got eaten alive. I've heard it's a good hunting cabin, but again, not worth it for summer.
