## Overview

The Bull River Guard Station was built in 1908 as the Ranger's house and
office. This structure was a primary ranger station from 1908 to 1920,
surviving the legendary 1910 fires that swept through the area. The cabin was
home to Granville "Granny" Gordon (District Ranger), his wife and three
daughters.  
  
Full vehicle access to the cabin depends on weather conditions. The road is
normally plowed within 1 mile of the cabin during winter months.

## Recreation

The Bull River is 24.7 miles long from its headwaters to where it meets the
Cabinet Gorge Reservoir. Fish species include westslope cutthroat trout, large
scale sucker and mountain whitefish. Visit the Montana Fish, Wildlife and
Parks website for fishing regulations and hunting seasons and permits.  
  
Hikers might be interested in two excellent day hiking options located near
the guard station: the Pilick Ridge Trail #1036 and the Berray Mountain Trail
#967. Both lead to lookouts with impressive views of the Cabinet Mountains.
The Berray Mountain Lookout tower, built in the 1930's, is listed on the
National Historic Lookout Register.  
  
For those interested in horseback riding, there is plenty of opportunity to
explore the surrounding land. Stock animals are not allowed in the cabin area,
but visitors may tie up across the road or 50 yards behind the station. As
always, certified weed free hay is required on all Forest Service lands.

## Facilities

The two-story cabin spans 700 square feet and is equipped with period
furniture, including three full beds and two single beds with mattresses. The
cabin can accommodate a maximum of 8 people and does require guests to bring a
few of their own supplies to ensure a comfortable stay.  
  
  
  
In addition to the beds, the cabin features a sitting room with chairs and a
kitchen/dining room with a hutch, table and chairs and electric range.  
  
  
  
The space is heated with a forced air electric furnace, and comes with some
cleaning supplies. There is no indoor plumbing at the cabin; an outhouse with
vault toilet is located nearby. A horse corral is located behind the cabin.  
  
  
  
Drinking water is also not available; guests must bring plenty of their own.

## Natural Features

The Bull River Guard Station is located in the Cabinet Mountain Range near the
East Fork of the Bull River in the Kootenai National Forest.  
  
The Cabinet Mountains were named by early French settlers who thought the
mountains had a cabinet-like appearance when viewed from the valley floor.  
  
The cabin is located minutes from from the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness area
which is home to a large range of wildlife from the high rocks of the mountain
goat, mountain sheep, pika and golden eagle, to the lower slopes and brushy
canyon bottoms of the beaver, woodrat, and beautiful Western Tanager.  
  
Fall foliage in this area is truly stunning with a wonderful assortment of
Mountain Maple scarlets, Mountain Ash reds, Alder browns, and the Larch golden
yellows.

## Overview

The gem peak lookout is located in the Cabinet Ranger District, situated above
the Clark Fork River Area at the southern end of the Cabinet Mountain
Wilderness. The original Gem Peak Lookout was activated in 1921 as a "rag
outfit"--a pole platform tent near a 15 foot open-platform tower.

tower with amenities such as a wood heating stove, single beds and of course,
the incredible view of the Clark Fork River and the Noxon area.

are open to motorized use. The District maintains almost 400 miles of open
road, and many miles of gated roads offer additional opportunities to mountain
bikers, berry pickers, and hunters.

valley bottom.  
  
The Kootenai National Forest is dominated by a mixed conifer forest, but there
is also an impressive ancient cedar grove set aside as a scenic area. In the
spring and throughout the summer, a succession of wildflowers add color to
hillsides and meadows and in the fall, stands of western larch and aspen mix
yellows with the reds of huckleberry bushes, mountain maples and mountain ash.
