Use caution in shoulder seasons. Winter came early and resulted in unstable snow pack preventing safe travel to reach the cabin.

Highlight of the trip was seeing a group of mountain goats nursing babies. Glad we had the cabin to stay warm in. It was cold. Cabin isn't well insulated, but it gets you out of the wind. Wished we had brought 3 gallons of kerosene for our 2 night stay. It was in the mid 30s while we we're there. My only real complaint was other people coming up to the cabin and looking inside while we were there. We had no way of marking the cabin as occupied. Went to the park rangers afterwards, and let them know. There is supposed to be something like a sign apparently, so I guess it went missing. I wish the pre-trip instructions had said something about how to light the heater. We didn't bring paper to light it. Had to use small pieces from the guest book. I also assumed the outhouse would've had toilet paper but it didn't. We will stay here again, but we'll pack differently.
