Even though it was a mild fall, there was plenty of packed/icy snow in November which made the drive down a bit treacherous (even with chains). The cabin was clean but, drafty when the wind picked up. The wood stove has been downsized since our stay over a decade ago so, it took a lot of wood to warm up the cabin in freezing temperatures. We had to add wood every 3-4 hours through the night. The solar lighting in the cabin is a nice addition and the stove was handy for cooking real meals as opposed to the dehydrated foods. Great views of the Bitterroot range. Overall, it was a fun stay in the cabin with good memories.

Gets a lot of visitors through the day because it's right on a hiking trail. Other than that it is well equipped and taken care of with some amazing views of the surrounding area. The sunsets and stars are also worth the trip.

do not understand why 2.5 sides of the lookout windows are still blocked by wood decreasing the view. lookout is in great shape.

Great place! The stove and lantern worked perfectly. Fairly well stocked with basic kitchen items and things such as toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Be prepared to hang your food to keep away from critters!
