The historic log cabin is located along the grassy foothills at the southwestern end of the Snowcrest Range, at an elevation of 8,100 feet. Together with the nearby Gravelly Range, the area is one of Montana's most popular hunting grounds. Nearby Antone Peak is a popular but challenging day hike and climb. The two mountain ranges are home to nearly 10,000 elk and a growing population of grizzly bears (learn more about bear safety). Bears are sometimes seen near the cabin. Moose are also frequent visitors to the meadow where the cabin lies.
Recreation: A variety of hiking, backpacking and horseback riding trails extend into the Snowcrest Range, including the Snowcrest Trail, which covers the entire range, providing panoramic views. The 40-mile trail can serve as the means for a hearty horseback adventure, a lengthy backpacking trip, or make for several day trips into the wilderness. Antone Peak is a popular day hike, about 2 miles away but more challenging than one might expect. The nearby Blacktail Deer Creek, and other seasonal mountain streams, offer access to fishing. Anglers can enjoy a possible catch of brook or cutthroat trout.
Nearby: Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is about 20 miles to the southeast.
