Vigilante Cabin

The Vigilante cabins were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1920s and were first used as a guard station. The middle house, which is the largest, is available by reservation public use. The remaining outbuildings are still used by Forest Service personnel throughout the year. The cabin lies a short walking distance away from the upper Ruby River.
