Cape Horn Winter Rental Cabin

Cape Horn Winter Rental is located in Cape Horn Meadows approximately 16 miles northwest of Stanley, Idaho, situated in a stand of lodgepole pines at an elevation of 6,660 feet. On clear days, the guard station’s front porch affords breathtaking views of the rugged Sawtooth Mountain Range to the south. The Cape Horn area offers unlimited cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling opportunities in the surrounding meadows, and telemark skiing is available on the slopes behind the station. The guard station is open for reservations at Recreation.gov from December 15 through March 15.
