Hmmm, awesome spot, and we have been to this cabin many, many times. We did not give it an excellent rating because:
With the price at $60 per night now, maybe the road could be cleared into the cabin now, since the main road is cleared to the Grotto Falls/ice climbing/Hyalite Lake trailhead parking? The rent is high, compared to other similar cabins in the state.

Beyond incredible. Majestic views, clean cabin, very cozy. Can’t wait to return in the winter when it must be spectacular.

Cabin is cute and cozy, with a front porch perfect for reading and taking in the views. Beds rather than cots made for comfortable sleeping. There are trails galore in the area. Cabin turnoff is unmarked so look for the padlocked gate on the right as you drive from the reservoir.

Stayed at Window Rock for a cross-country skiing trip and it was lovely. Access was easy for winter standards. Just parked at one of the pullouts 1/4 mile down the road and skied up to the cabin. The fireplace was super cozy and kept the place warm all night. Lots of trails to access from the cabin. There's Westshore which can be skied all the way to the Blackmore parking lot. Then, on the other side, there's a trail that eventually connects to the parking area near Chisholm which connects to the Wildhorse and Maxey Cabin trails. Great place to stay for a winter weekend at Hyalite. It should be even better when Window Rock gets its repairs soon.

Cabin is in a great location for cross-country skiing. Close to road but relatively secluded. The adjacent hillside meadow is a popular spot for kids to build and use ski jumps, so expect some nearby commotion on powder days. It's helpful to bring a snow shovel to create space for parking near the gate if there has been a lot of snow.

It was obvious that people take very good care of the cabin! Thank you everyone in the Park service. It also appears somebody from outside the cabin is currently taking wood from the shed almost each day with a sled.

Window Rock Cabin is very accessible from Bozeman, but secluded, cozy and surrounded by spectacular beauty.

Hyalite Canyon Road (FS 62) is intermittently plowed during the winter:4-wheel drive, snow tires, tire chains, as well as other winter driving equipment is highly recommended when winter weather conditions are expected at mountain elevations.Gallatin County plows Hyalite Canyon Road, with 60% of costs reimbursed to the county, mostly by the Friends of Hyalite with an additional contribution by the Forest Service. Without this partnership, and the resources the partners provide, winter access up Hyalite would be dramatically different. In this unique partnership, the county has agreed to plow Hyalite with the understanding that their primary responsibility is to first take care of county roads for their residents.This means Hyalite Canyon Road is plowed only after higher-priority county roads are addressed, resulting in irregular and often delayed maintenance. Hyalite visitors should NOT assume that the road will get plowed immediately after every storm. Plowing sometimes does not occur for several days or longer. Guests should be aware that winter weather conditions may at times not allow vehicle access past the lower hyalite gate located 2 miles south of the junction of Hyalite Canyon Road and S 19th Ave. and should be prepared for the possibility of needing to hike or ski the rest of the way.Check the Friends of Hyalite Facebook page Friday's for winter road condition reports. Friends if Hyalite facebook Refunds will not be issued for weather related issues, including weather related accessibility issues. It is your responsibility to think ahead and plan appropriately. |
