Cold Springs Peak Cabin

## Overview

As a qualifying inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places, the
primitive 12'x14' log cabin was originally constructed to shelter firefighters
and other work crews in 1931. Although Forest Service personnel and volunteers
shored up the cabin’s foundation, re-shingled the roof and installed a wood
heating stove, guests must bring their own supplies and gear for a comfortable
stay as there are no linens, cleaning supplies, or toiletries provided. The
popular cabin is perched on a ridge line just off Pot Mountain trail #169
overlooking the Elizabeth Creek drainage and Ice Lake. The trailhead to the
cabin is not assessable with low clearance vehicles, and the 2 plus miles of
trail from the trailhead to the cabin is a moderately difficult, multi-use
trail with several steep grades. Although assessable by OHV's less than 50" in
width, the roads and trails leading to the cabin can be partially or fully
blocked by debris or snowpack in the early season. Off trail/road motorized
travel is strictly prohibited. Visitors are strongly advised to consult the
forest website, as well as a map prior to reserving or traveling to the cabin
and to call the district information desk with any questions.

## Recreation

Due to the unique location, the cabin is an ideal base camp for those looking
to reconnect with nature, or as a stopover for a variety of outdoor
enthusiasts as they explore the district. Multiple mountain lakes in the
vicinity provides a welcome challenge for the avid adventurer looking to find
the many secluded fishing holes. There are also several other trails in the
vicinity that offer connection to a host of recreation opportunities
including; berry picking, hiking, biking, sightseeing, and birding being the
most popular. Recreate responsibly, be sure to check the regulations and rules
to educate yourself before you recreate by visiting https://idfg.idaho.gov/
and https://www.fs.usda.gov/news/nezperceclearwater/news-events for up to date
information.

## Facilities

The cabin is a 1930’s primitive structure only providing a shelter from the
elements. Two spring beds, a small table with a couple chairs, a modern wood
stove, and a pit toilet outhouse are the only amenities provided. There is
only one stream as a reasonable water source approximately 1 mile from the
cabin on trail #169 that requires treatment before consumption. Guests are
required to pick up after their pets/stock, pack out their trash, and clean
the cabin before they check-out with the provided broom under the “Leave it
Cleaner than when you arrived” and the “Pack it in Pack it out” policies so
everyone may enjoy their stay.

## Natural Features

The cabin is tucked into a narrow, rocky saddle, atop steep, nearly vertical
cliffs directly adjacent to Cold Springs Peak. At almost 6,731 feet, guests
enjoy open views of the Bitterroot Mountains to the east as well as a bird’s
eye view of the Elizabeth Creek drainage, Ice Lake, and a small meadow
directly below the cabin. The area boasts a wide diversity of wildlife and
birds, so visitors never know what to expect while enjoying the scenery, but
mule deer, mountain lion, black bear, elk, Mountain Bluebird, Mountain Jay,
Raven, and Tanager are the most common. Seasonal changes can be particularly
enjoyable as the storms blow through the saddle, or the extraordinary fall
colors back dropped with mountains capped by advancing snow late in the
season.

COLD SPRINGS PEAK CABIN

Cold Springs Peak Cabin - Clearwater NF (ID)

## Overview

Kelly Forks cabin is located in a small clearing within an active forest
service work center. It was originally built at the confluence of Moose and
Kelly Creeks during the mid-1930’s to be used as a stopover between the upper
North Fork and the Bungalow Ranger stations. It was then dismantled, floated
down Kelly Creek, and reassembled at its current location during the
mid-1900s. Fully remodeled around 2002 with modern comforts, the cabin
maintains a high demand throughout the rental season. Although accessible by
car, the gravel roads on the district can be quite rough and partially blocked
with debris. Visitors are strongly advised to consult a map as well as the
forest website prior to reserving or traveling to the cabin.

There is a maximum consecutive stay of 6 nights per user and a maximum total
stay of 6 nights per year per user. Users may only hold two reservations for
this cabin at any one time. Failure to abide by these rules may result in
cancelled reservations without refund of reservation or cancellation fees.

## Recreation

There are several fishing “holes” and hiking trails located within easy
walking distance of the cabin with many more a short drive in any direction.

electricity, lights, running water, “on demand” propane hot water, and
individual electric radiant heaters for each room. The bedroom contains 1 twin
and 1 full size mattress and a dresser w/mirror. The spacious bathroom is
equipped with a shower stall, flush toilet, sink and mirror. The kitchen is
equipped with an electric range w/oven, microwave, refrigerator/ freezer,
sink, drip coffee pot, toaster and an odd assortment of pots, pans, plates,
bowls, utensils, cups, and glasses. The vaulted living area provides 2 full
sized futons, and dining table with 4 chairs. The cabin also has a large
covered porch with camp chairs and a picnic area that has a table and fire
ring (guests provide their own firewood). The cabin can be reserved for a
single night or up to 6 consecutive nights by the same individual or group.

of Kelly Creek and the North Fork of the Clearwater River. The area is known
worldwide as a blue-ribbon fishery for West Slope Cutthroat Trout, and the
beautiful crystal-clear waters are just a stone's throw from the cabin. A wide
variety of wildlife including elk, white-tailed and mule deer, black bear,
wolf, cougar, bobcat, mountain goat, moose, eagle, otter, marten, fisher,
osprey, raven, king fisher, dippers and many more call the steep, densely
vegetated river valleys home. Seasonal changes can be particularly enjoyable
from the swift moving whitewater in the spring to the extraordinary fall
colors pursued by the crisp white snow line.

## Overview

The popular lookout is perched on Scurvy peak at the end of trail #524
overlooking the Moose buttes, Cayuse and Kelly Cr drainages and Scurvy Lake.
The first lookout was a platform built in 1917 with a cabin added in 1935. The
present cab was built in 1952 that was gradually restored by volunteers over a
10-year span and became an inclusion to the National Register of Historic
lookouts in 2004. The trailhead to the cabin is not assessable with low
clearance vehicles, and the 4 plus miles of trail from the trailhead to the
cabin is a moderately difficult, multi-use trail with several steep grades.
Guests must bring their own supplies and gear for a comfortable stay as there
are no linens, cleaning supplies, or toiletries provided. Although assessable
by OHV's less than 50" in width, the roads and trails leading to the cabin can
be partially or fully blocked by debris or snowpack in the early season. Off
trail/road motorized travel is strictly prohibited. Visitors are strongly
advised to consult the forest website, as well as a map prior to reserving or
traveling to the cabin and to call the district information desk with any
questions.

## Recreation

Due to its location, the lookout is an ideal base camp for those looking to
reconnect with nature, or as a stopover for a variety of outdoor enthusiasts
as they explore the district. The remote location combined with the open
skyline and a 360-degree view is perfect for those who enjoy stargazing. There
are also several other trails in the vicinity that offer connection to a host
of recreation opportunities including berry picking, hiking, biking,
sightseeing, and birding being the most popular. Recreate responsibly, be sure
to check the regulations and rules to educate yourself before you recreate by
visiting https://idfg.idaho.gov/ and
https://www.fs.usda.gov/news/nezperceclearwater/news-events for up-to-date
information.

## Facilities

The restored lookout is comprised of a 12’ x 12’ wooden “cab” surrounded by a
catwalk on a 8’ high cinderblock structure. One bed, a small table with a
couple chairs, two countertops that contain cabinets, a small modern wood
stove, and a pit toilet outhouse are the only amenities provided. The closest
water source is a small spring approximately 1/2 mile from the lookout on
trail 524 (about 100 yards towards the lookout from the 524/531 trail junction
25 yards off trail 524 on the downhill side) that requires treatment before
consumption.

Guests are required to pick up after their pets/stock, pack out their trash,
and clean the cabin before they check-out with the provided broom under the
“Leave it Cleaner than when you arrived” and the “Pack it in Pack it out”
policies so everyone may enjoy their stay.

## Natural Features

The low profile 10’ high lookout cab is positioned in a clearing on top of
Scurvy mountain’s 6600’ peak. The vantage point provides guests with a
panoramic view of the surrounding area that include the Cayuse Cr and Weitas
Cr drainages to the South, Cook Mountain in the west, a broadside of the Moose
Cr Buttes to the north, the Bitterroot Mountains, and Scurvy Lake to the east.
The area boasts a wide diversity of wildlife and birds, so visitors never know
what to expect while enjoying the scenery, but mule deer, mountain lion, black
bear, elk, Mountain Bluebird, Mountain Jay, Raven, and Tanager are the most
common. The unhindered view of the sunsets and rises on the horizon can be
quite spectacular, as is the stargazing on a clear evening or the
extraordinary fall colors back dropped with mountains capped by advancing snow
late in the season are sites to behold.

Weitas Campground is a very popular, no fee campground that's located about 35
miles northeast of Pierce, just off Forest Service road [FSR] 250.  Much of
the campground's appeal comes from its location along the shady banks of
Weitas Creek, just south of the North Fork of the Clearwater River (you cross
a bridge to reach the campground.)  There are only six campsites, so Weitas
Campground tends to fill quickly during the height of the summer recreation
season.  Trail #20 runs south, and then east, out of the campground, providing
miles of first-class bank fishing opportunities.  The trail eventually
junctions with FSR 500, the Lolo Motorway.
