We stay at this cabin frequently. We are grateful for the USFS for keeping the Wapiti cabin so well maintained. We noticed the new chinking between the logs this trip and the interior logs had been washed, looked great. The outhouse was clean and a big improvement from past iterations. We bring our own cleaning supplies but noted that the mop could use replaced , it was hard to get the floor clean when we left.

Such a cool place! Road was in great condition, only saw a couple other people while out there. the cabin is in great shape. We walked up the road that is closed, just past the cabin for about a mile or so and saw moose and deer.

Staying at the Wapiti Cabin is an annual event for our family to celebrate the end of the school year. We enjoy walking up the road to look for wildlife in the Wapiti and Little Wapiti Creeks drainages. The wildflowers are always amazing in June, the weather is warm but not hot. The renovations were a surprise, thanks FS!
