Good luck its looks like a great week. I expect your drives will be longer than some of the hikes.

Good luck! For what it's worth, sleeping in the Cabin is a nice place to wake-up and already be so high up, but it's not really insulated (and the stove is long gone), so it's cold but with no wind. Still a fun experience!

My other dog General Patton and I stayed up there this past fall. There were 11 people total and two dogs so it was quite warm. It was a blast! Made some great friends that night. I would have been very cold up there Saturday night though with only my 30 degree bag. Very glad I did not go for it.

I really miss the woodstove in that cabin. I had hopes when the FS announced that they were going to set it up for reservation use but haven't heard anything of late. I expect the radio tower will go in long before the cabin gets rented out.

I never got to stay there when the wood stove was in operation. Such a shame.
