Very long and rough road to get to the cabin. Beds are uncomfortable and cabin seems to have a rodent problem.

I was unable to access the cabin because of deep, wet mud and some snow on the access road high up in the mountains. Even though I have a Subaru Forester, I judged it best not to try to make it.

From Ennis, travel south on Highway 287 for about 30 miles, then head northwest on Standard Creek Road for about 20 miles and 10 miles south on Forest Road 290. The majority of the road to the cabin is gravel and has some long, steep grades, which may require four-wheel drive. The road can be treacherous and impassable if the conditions are wet or snowy, often in mid-October and November. Over snow vehicles are necessary in winter, permissable after December 1. All roads in the Gravelly Range are closed to wheeled motorized use from April 1 through June 30. Maps (Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest-South) may be purchased by calling the Madison Ranger District.
