About Little Bear Cabin

Little Bear Cabin was built in 1938 and still looks much the same as it did back then. It is available year-round for recreationists, as well as for those who seek a quiet mountain retreat. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle during the summer and fall (June 16th - December 31st) weather and snow conditions permitting, but winter access requires snowmobiling or skiing 10 miles from the paved road. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

We stayed here the last weekend in April 2021. Hike in was 6.9 miles, 1400 feet in elevation according to all trails. Snow shoes might have been helpful as there was still plenty of (very soft) snow on the road and we post holed a bit towards the end. Cabin had a wood stove, two beds on ground floor and a loft accessed by storable ladder to get to two more beds. Had a picnic table and fire ring with grate outside. Beautiful porch to enjoy the views of the Valley during the snow / rain that came in. We filtered water from a creek (I think Wilson) that flowed about a 25 minute hike away. Would have been much shorter without snow since the road to the creek didn’t enjoy the benefit of sleds packing down snow that we could follow. There was no cooking stove, but cabin had pots / pans, grate for fire, and a roasting stick thing for sausages over the fire. Stove kept the cabin pretty warm, but temps didn’t drop significantly below freezing.
