Hogan Cabin

Driving south from Missoula into the Bitterroot Mountains along the Idaho/Montana Border is the Lost Trail Pass, Chief Joseph Pass and the Gibbons Pass.  We came here to spend a couple nights in the Hogan Cabin.

" The Hogan Cabin is a small cabin located on the Lewis and Clark Historical Trail.  The cabin was built in the 1920's to provide field quarters for trail crews, smoke chasers, timber cruisers and grazing inspectors that worked in the area."  -- Recreation.gov

The cabin is now can be reserved by the public.  Apparently it's particularly popular in the winter for use by snowmobilers and cross-country skiers.


The actual Hogan Cabin of the compound which had three buildings.

This must be a storage shed as it was locked up.

The shed and outhouse, building three.




The back of the cabin as viewed from the shed.

The view to the south.


Morning coffee and a book.

Firewood provided.





A wood stove inside.  No electricity or running water, so we had to bring our own.

The cabin has two sets of bunkbeds. Oh, and that's Onions' foot.


A propane campstove is provided as well as basic provisions like pots and pans.

DINNER!!!

Leaving the cabin.....
