One of the best camping experiences you'll ever have

The closest you can get to overlanding without... overlanding. Remote cabin is just enough to stay warm and dry at the top of the world. Stayed in June and needed to keep the fire going all night for warmth. At the time there was plenty of roughly pre-cut firewood on site, but bring your axe as the one on hand was plenty dull. Be prepared to pack your sleep goods in from the parking spot, about 1/4 mile-ish. Forest service road was well maintained, but don't know I'd 2WD if it's snowy. The yellow legal pad "guest book" was an entertaining read for the evening - folks from MT are fierce. Watch for openings and grab this spot if you can!
