About this place
Hogan Cabin is a small rental cabin located on Trail Creek NFSR #106. The cabin was built in the 1920s to provide field quarters for trail crews, smoke chasers, timber cruisers and grazing inspectors that worked in the area. It is a great retreat for snow lovers in the winter, as the cabin provides access to a variety of snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. Summer and fall months give guests plenty of daylight and moderate temperatures to explore the surrounding meadows, peaks and valleys, as well as fish in plentiful mountain streams. The cabin is only accessible by motorized vehicle during the summer months until the road is close to wheeled vehicles December 2nd each winter. During the winter months travel to the cabin requires snowmobiles, skis or snowshoes. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. Go to Recreation.gov for reservations and more information.
