About Summit Guard Station Bunkhouse

Summit Guard Station Bunkhouse sets the stage for a truly relaxing getaway. Located on the breaks of Meacham Canyon in Umatilla National Forest, spectacular views of the Blue Mountains are guaranteed. The rustic bunkhouse, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, dates back to 1938. The site of the cabin was the Summit Ranger Station in 1908, when the land was part of the Wenaha National Forest. Wenaha was one of the first national forests in the country, established in 1907. It was renamed Umatilla National Forest in 1920.

Beautiful sunset from the summit. Larches were turning in mid October when we were there. Road was nicely graded. Mountain bike is probably the way to explore the area. I did not see many hikes around the area. Plenty of open area to have great star gazing at night.

A wonderful camping experience, especially if you value seclusion and quiet! The view to the southwest is spectacular, particularly at sunset. The guard station cabin provides plenty of comfortable shelter for cooking, eating and sleeping while the station grounds still affording ample out of doors experiences. We definitely will return!

We loved our stay at the Summit Guard Station. The cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. The beautiful location on the ridge can’t be beat.
