Great Trip! The cabin was super-clean, toasty warm and buffeted the 30 knot winds and driving rain well. The propane worked beautifully. I t would be nice for a straightforward remark: if you see the pilot light then simply turn the knob and adjust the thermostat. We spent a little bit of time running through the pilot-lighting instructions. Trail Mix's work on the trail is nice as far as it goes and will be be even nicer as they progress. The boards are slippery and yak trax/grippers were a must. Two trees were down and blocking the trail. Scrambling over and around them with packs was a bit iffy for a couple of old ladies?! There did appear to be some water seeping in from under the front right-hand side of the metal sheet under the wood stove. Otherwise, it was another fantastic cabin trip brought to us by USFS! Thanks!

This cabin is lovely and in great shape. There was not enough snow in mid-January 2021 to do the JM-Peterson ski traverse. (We did it, but on a mix of snowshoes and microspikes, with lots of falling into hidden muskeg holes).

The propane was awesome, the view was incredible! The hike wasn't too hard, and the way down with less food and water flew by! The trivia game was awesome and fun to see the notebooks filled with recent trips. Definitly bring crampons if you are going in the winter months- life savers. Perfect weekend get away!

Snowshoes would have been useful but otherwise it was fantastic, as it always is!
