Cache Mountain Cabin
Built in 1991, the 12 ft x 16 ft Cache Mountain Cabin sits on a terrace above O’Brien Creek approximately three miles above the creek’s confluence with Beaver Creek Wild and Scenic River. The cabin sleeps up to six people. Cabins are equipped with bunk beds, a table and benches, cook stove, lantern, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse.
Renters need to bring fuel for the lanterns and cook stoves. BLM converted from white gas to propane cook stoves and lanterns, so make sure to bring the proper fuel! Carry extra lantern mantles (clip on tube style) or candles in case the lanterns don't function properly. Cabin users should be prepared to cut firewood or bring some with them. Other recommended items to bring include maps and compass, matches, sleeping bag and pad, extra food items and water, and warm clothing.
Cache Mountain Cabin is primarily a winter use cabin. It is accessible in the summer via non-motorized use only but can be a difficult trek due to permafrost and tussock type terrain.
