Cabot Cabin

I've stayed here two times, once working on the NH 4k-footer list and once along the Cohos Trail. *Note this cabin was refurbished in 2021 after my two visits described below.

This is a basic cabin accessible only from a long hike in. The cabin has a front porch with a great view, and inside a front area with a kitchen table to seat maybe 4-6 and then a small bunk room in the back with 4 large bunk platforms, two on each side. Each bunk had a basic foam mattress but I found I needed to use my sleeping pad along with it.

Outside, there is a composting toilet. The only downside to this campsite is that there is no water. Most guidebooks describe a sprint located closeby but potentially hazardous to reach. I've just hiked my water in each time.

From the cabin, it's a short hike up to a look-out (see pictures) and then the summit of Mount Cabot.
