We were not able to access the cabin due to deep snow and avalanche danger. We checked in with the Glacier Ranger District office several days before our reservation and the ranger simply stated they had no idea what the condition of the trail was up to the cabin or if we would be likely to access it. Absolutely zero information. On day of our reservation trail to cabin was still impassable without crampons etc.

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