Scaler Guard Station
Historic Scaler Guard Station, located 78 miles north of Kemmerer, Wyoming, provides an excellent hideaway for cabin camping enthusiasts. The cabin allows pets and horses. Hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle trails are in the vicinity. Constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the former ranger guard station dates back to 1937 and is available for reservations year-round. The guard station has running potable water, a flush toilet, bathroom sink, shower and kitchen sink available during the summer months only. There is no running water available during winter months but there is an outhouse located next to the guard station. There is no electricity at the guard station. The three-room cabin is equipped with propane range/oven, refrigerator, lights and a wood stove. It sleeps 6 people on 3 bunkbeds with mattresses. Natural Features: Sagebrush and grasses cover the area behind the cabin. A few pines are dispersed in the vicinity, but shade by the cabin is limited. Moose, elk, eagles and sandhill cranes are among the wildlife likely to be seen. An abundance of wildflowers color the landscape in summer. The Bridger-Teton National Forest offers more than 3.4 million acres of public lands for outdoor recreation. With its pristine watersheds, abundant wildlife and immense wildlands, the forest comprises a large part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states. Recreation: The nearby Absaroka Ridge Trailhead leads hikers and horseback riders along Fontenelle Creek, and provides access into Pomeroy Basin. This trail also attracts big game hunters. Other trails throughout the La Barge Creek area are ideal for mountain bikers and off-road vehicle riders.
