Natural Features

Wishon Cabin is withing walking distance to the Doyle Springs Trailhead. This trail travels north along the Middle Fork Tule River, through the Wishon Grove of giant sequoias, and eventually reaches the Mountain Home State Forest area, which also has many giant sequoia trees. Because of the cabin's elevation, visitors need to be prepared for a wide variety of weather, including warm afternoons, chilly nights and afternoon thunderstorms. It is also not unusual to have a dusting of snow during the fall and winter months.
