Mammoth Cabin

The Mammoth Guard station is located in the Spanish Fork - Scofield Recreation Area on the Manti-La Sal National Forest’s Ferron/Price Ranger District. Sitting at 8,600 feet in elevation, there are two cabins on the grounds. The Mammoth Cabin was built on site while the Lake Cabin was moved to the site from its original location in the 1980s. Both cabins were constructed in the 1930s serving as forest ranger and fire crew dwellings for many years. The cabins overlook a wide expanse of sagebrush valleys with timbered slopes and ridgelines. The grounds that cabins are located is also an active administrative site. Visitors can expect to see Forest Service personnel using the grounds adjacent to the cabins.
