Peterson Prairie Campground

Forest at Peterson Prairie

Peterson Prairie Campground in fall

## Overview

The Peterson Cabin is located on the Mt. Adams Ranger District, is powered by
propane, and wood heat and can sleep six people. The cabin was salvaged from
demolition in 2014 and moved into place of a cabin that was razed by fire in
2012. The cabin has been meticulously restored and is open year round. Between
December 1st and April 1st the road to the cabin is closed. Parking at
Atkisson Sno-Park is required between these dates and a Washington State Sno-
Park Pass is required. Ski, snowshoe or snowmobilers can access the cabin from
Atkisson Sno-Park.

## Recreation

Many recreational opportunities are within close proximity of the cabin.
Hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and mushroom and huckleberry picking are
popular during the snow-free months. Guests can enjoy cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing during winter.  
  
The Pacific Crest Trail, Indian Heaven Wilderness and Mt. Adams Wilderness are
all within easy driving distance and boast scenic vistas.  
  
Atkisson Sno-Park is approximately 2.5 miles from the cabin and serves as a
portal to the forest's network of 95 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. Three
signed, ungroomed cross-country ski loops also depart from the Atkisson Sno-
Park, offering loop opportunities of 4 to 11 miles. Portions of these loops
overlap with each other and the snowmobile trail network.

overlap with each other and the snowmobile trail network.

## Natural Features

A dense canopy of Douglas fir towers over the cabin and huckleberry bushes are
thick in the understory.  
  
Nearby Mt. Adams Wilderness is dominated by its namesake peak. At an elevation
of 12,276 feet, Mount Adams looms over at least ten glaciers, forested slopes
and subalpine meadows.  
  
Wildlife in the area is abundant, including spotted owls, black tail deer,
Roosevelt elk and black bear. The more elusive cougar, bobcat and pine marten
are seen occasionally.

## Nearby Attractions

Guler Ice Cave is one mile west of the cabin. It is filled with spectacular
ice formations that resemble stalactites, stalagmites, columns, fans and
boxwork. The ice is believed to form because the cave acts as a trap,
retaining the heavy cold air that settles into the cave in winter. As the snow
melts above, moisture dripping into the cave forms into ice columns and
masses. The cave is about 650 feet long, with four sections separated by three
ceiling collapses.  
  
The Forest Service has built a stairway down to the cave, but the steps can be
slippery during winter. When exploring the cave, wear warm clothing, boots and
a helmet. Use crampons if you have them. Have three sources of light.  
  
Winter access requires cross-country skis, snowshoes or snowmobile. Many of
the ice formations are just inside the cave entrance, so it's not necessary to
explore deep inside.

Oklahoma campground

Oklahoma Campground

## Overview

Nestled in a grove of towering old-growth conifer trees, the Government
Mineral Springs Guard Station is a delightful setting for guests seeking
relaxation and recreation in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.  
  
The Government Mineral Springs area has been a draw to recreation enthusiasts
since the early 1900's. In 1910, S.D. Fox and the Star Brewing Company of
Portland began construction of a hotel near Trapper Creek, which eventually
became known as Government Mineral Springs. The popular resort boasted bath
houses, Iron Mike Bubbling Springs, a dance pavilion, store, ice cream parlor,
goldfish ponds and flower gardens. Early advertisements for the resort claimed
the mineral water spas were capable of curing physical ailments. In 1935, the
hotel burned to the ground.  
  
Camping remained popular at the site, and in 1937, the Civilian Conservation
Corps significantly expanded and developed the public campground and built the
guard station, which was used for Forest Service administration of the
campground and other local recreational use. Today, the cabin provides a
unique lodging opportunity.  
  
Guests should be aware that during the winter season, the cabin is only
accessible via a half-mile trek on skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles from the
parking area.  
  
There is no motor vehicle access from the road that leads to the cabin when
snow is present on the road. Parking at the snow park is required, and
requires a snow park pass. This pass can be purchased at local vendors.

## Recreation

Many recreational opportunities are within close proximity of the Guard
Station, including fishing, hiking, biking, mushroom and huckleberry picking,
hunting, skiing and snowshoeing.  
  
Nearby fishing opportunities include spring chinook fishing on the Wind River
and lake fishing for brown and brook trout in Soda Peaks Lake, in Trapper
Creek Wilderness.  
  
A short drive from the cabin is the Falls Creek Falls Trail, a 3.5-mile round-
trip hike for the whole family. Accessible year round, the trail follows a
forested creek before crossing a suspension bridge, then traverses a side
slope which offers views of the creek and interesting rock formations. At the
end of the trail is lower Falls Creek Falls, a three-tiered waterfall which
drops nearly 250 feet into a pool below the viewpoint.

## Natural Features

Trapper Creek Wilderness is within walking distance of the guard station,
boasting 6,050 acres of diverse habitat. Cascading streams and waterfalls are
plentiful throughout the steep slopes at the lower elevations, while
huckleberry fields occur higher near Observation Peak.  
  
Wildlife abounds in the area. Animals commonly seen include black tail deer,
Roosevelt elk and black bear. The more elusive cougar, bobcat and pine marten
are seen occasionally. Spotted owls, barred owls, pileated woodpeckers and
goshawks inhabit the forest treetops.

## Nearby Attractions

The guard station is located between Mt. St Helens National Volcanic Monument
and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, convenient for day trips.
