Policies & Rules
General
- Guests must bring their own water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. During the winter season (Dec 1 - Apr 15) snow can be melted for use in the cabin, but should be treated to remove bacteria.
- This facility is located in a remote area; before making a reservation, become aware of bear, water and weather safety (including avalanche danger).
- Guests should be aware that there is a risk of exposure to hantavirus when visiting remote cabins; click here to learn more.
- All garbage and food must be packed out.
- Learn more about the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
- Don't Move Firewood: Prevent the spread of tree-killing pests by obtaining firewood near your destination and burning it on-site. Firewood for the warming stove is provided on site. For more information visit dontmovefirewood.org.
- You will have access to the lock combination code once your reservation is confirmed. No need to call the Wisdom District Office for the padlock combination. During the winter season the main floor of the cabin serves as a warming shelter during the day; overnight guests rooms are located on the upper level.
- Look for the Bitterroot XC Ski Club website and facebook page for the latest XC ski trail grooming report. Ski trail grooming takes place from Dec 1-April 14 each year with grant funds awarded to the Bitterroot XC Ski Club and Lost Trail Powder Mtn. Ski Area.
- Please do not bring dogs onto the Chief Joseph ski trails during the winter. Nearby Forest Service Road 1260 is a multi-use winter trail where visitors can ski and showshoe with dogs. Backcountry ski trails on the south side of MT Hwy 43 are also great places to ski with your dogs.
- Each visitor group is responsible for cleaning and disinfecting the cabin. The Beaverhead-Deerlodge NF checks on the cabin intermittently during the reservation season and cannot guarantee the sterilization of facilities or prevention of disease transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the latest on COVID-19 in Montana, please refer to the Governor's Corona Virus Task Force: https://covid19.mt.gov/
