Open the gate using the cabin combination and drive another 1/2 mile to the cabin. Winter Route, December to April (depending on snow conditions): Winter parking is only available at the Battle Ridge Trailhead. Parking along Highway 86 is prohibited so that highway snow plows can work. Please park at the Battle Ridge Trailhead. Please leave room for trucks with trailers in the parking area. You may ski, snowshoe (or walk), and snowmobile from the Battle Ridge Trailhead on a marked ski and snowmobile trail which begins on the south end of parking area.
