I highly recommend a high-clearance vehicle when driving to the cabin. It is 15 miles in on a rocky, steep and many areas where the runoff has produced some trenches that will challenge many lower-clearance rigs. That being said.... if you can get there, it is very quiet and peaceful as you are at the end of a rough road. Moose, abundant wildflowers and great views.

Great little cabin. Cabin comes equipped with most kitchen amenities and a wood cook stove , plus outside propane burners. Recommend bringing own propane stove in winter.

Had a tough time on the forest service road in and turned around about 5 miles up. I would definitely suggest a high clearance vehicle as the road is rocky and narrow… beautiful area though. Wildflowers every where!
