tvashtarkatena Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Any recommendations for backcountry cabins in WA? Fee or free. I'm familiar with the fire lookouts already.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_H Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 There aren't any because it "destroys the wilderness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well, there's the North Cascade Heli-Ski yurt. That would be rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_H Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 There's some yurts in the Wallowas too. I think they're privately owned though but they are for skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dberdinka Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 East of Republic in the Kettle Range the FS maintains a very cool cabin that has good backcountry skiing in huge old burns on ~7000' peaks. It was cheap a long time ago. Take 3ish? hours to ski into. Reservable and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 summer or winter? I guess winter... but if you can get to them you will have them all to yourself...Tungsten, Sheep Lake, Freezeout Creek. The north cascades heli skiing has one in Indiana Basin...pay them money. About 17 miles on skis one way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've stayed at Freezeout and Tungsten...rustic (ie, rodent friendly). I'm guessing Sheep Lake is near Sheep Mountain (boundary trail). Haven't been to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
