About Hogan Cabin

Hogan Cabin is a small cabin located on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in western Montana. The cabin was built in the 1920s to provide field quarters for trail crews, smoke chasers, timber cruisers and grazing inspectors that worked in the area. It is a great retreat for snow lovers in the winter, as the cabin provides access to a variety of snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. Summer and fall months give guests plenty of daylight and moderate temperatures to explore the surrounding meadows, peaks and valleys, as well as fish in plentiful mountain streams. The cabin is only accessible by motorized vehicle during the summer months and until snow closes the road. Guests may have to snowmobile, hike or ski up to six miles, depending on conditions. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Previous users left the cabin in great condition, cleaned and well-stocked. The door/doorframe to the outhouse is completely gone. Nice view, a bit chilly. :-D

As always, it was a wonderful stay. I was expecting to have to hike or ski in from the highway, but was surprised when I was able to drive all the way to the cabin. I wouldn't recommend it necessarily, as the snow drifts on a few of the curbs were very difficult to get through and likely would have gotten stuck had I not had my shovel to level them out.

A calming place to break free of the online world. Been going up there for nearly 45 years. Last 4 staying in Hogan Cabin. Love that place.

First time at the Hogan cabin. Beautiful area and lots of trails and hiking opportunities. Wonderful to have a creek nearby to filter water so you don’t have to haul it in. Didn’t use any of the cookware, dishes, and utensils as we carry our own in a camping tote. Nice to have the covered area to sit under during rain or just out of the sun. Would liked to have had screens on windows or a screen door to be able to open for a breeze as it warms up inside during the day. There is a broom for sweeping but couldn’t find a mop to clean the floor. The road in is accessible by car. The cranes were in the meadow area every day and did see quite a few elk tracks on our hikes, but no elk. Loved the solar lights.

Hogan Cabin is a great spot to relax, watch the Sandhill cranes and listen to song dogs at night! If you stay here, you may meet folks hiking the entire Continental Divide Trail from Canada to Mexico. Offering a cold drink, the use of the cabin’s outhouse or to take some of there trash will be greatly appreciated by thru hikers!

This was my fourth stay. I go there for the peace and quiet. This time, there was a horse trailer literally right outside the gate. When I went out at 11pm to stargaze, they had their TV or music on, not loud, but loud enough to be distracting. And again around 630am-7'ish. I was very disappointed. Quiet time in campgrounds is around 10pm to six or 7am. They should be held to the same standard. Or made to park somewhere further away from the cabin. Dont get me wrong, I love the place. Solar lights are great, new bathroom door was great, and I hope to visit again, just not with with neighbors so close by. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
