Although the remnants of a forest fire are tragic, there's a beautiful and eerie peacefulness about this location and cabin. Our Scottie dog loved it too, naturally. Taking the hike heading west behind the cabin is recommended, and if you feel up for a challenge, climbing the steep slope to the top just across Bar Gulch Rd from the cabin is very much worth it. We discovered too late the Never Sweat Hunter Gulch trailhead about a half mile further up Magpie Creek Rd - that'll have to wait for a future trip. Remember, this cabin is nice and rustic, so bring water, lights, any kind of stove to heat water and food, and bedding - sleeping bags will do. Also, there's no sign for Bar Gulch Rd, so just be on the lookout for the turn left about 3.5 miles up Magpie Creek Rd from the highway.
