Snow Peak Cabin

Depending on the season, visitors may ski, snowshoe, hike, mountain bike, or ride horses high into the backcountry and spend the night at this charming remote cabin high on a ridge in the Kettle River Mountain Range. At an elevation of 6,400 feet, views from the Cabin stretch from the Cascades to the mountains of Canada and northern Idaho. Take in the spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and starry night skies. Access to the cabin is generally from the Kettle Crest Trailhead/Sno-park on Sherman Pass during the winter and spring months (ski or snowshoe access only) and from the Snow Peak Trailhead during the summer and fall. Snow Peak Cabin is a quaint, rustic log cabin measuring 17 feet by 19 feet, and while it was constructed in 1995, it has the feel and charm of a historic landmark. It is well-equipped with a wood stove, table, sleeping cots, propane cook stove, basic cookware and cutlery, and solar lighting. There is no potable water on site. Visitors must bring plenty of water for drinking, cooking and washing. An outhouse and horse corrals are provided nearby. Please note firewood is hard to come by for the cabin. Efforts to conserve and not burn fires outside is very important. Availability: Snow Peak Cabin is available for rent all year. Price and Capacity: $30 per night, per group, with a maximum of four occupants. Fees are used directly for the maintenance and preservation of the cabin. Reservations: Reservations must be made at least two days in advance. The maximum-length stay is five consecutive nights. Phone 1-877-444-6777 or visit www.recreation.gov Snow Peak Cabin was built through the cooperative efforts of the Snow Peak Shelter Alliance and the Colville National Forest. Construction took nearly three years and was completed in 1995. The Snow Peak Shelter Alliance consisted of volunteers from the Colville Outdoor Club, Kettle Range Ski Club, Kettle Ridge Riders Back Country Horsemen, and the Inland Empire Back Country Horsemen.
