## Overview

American River Guard Station is located about 40 miles west of Naches,
Washington on the banks of the American River in the eastern Cascade
Mountains. The rustic cabin and outhouse were built by the men of the 932nd
Camp Naches Civilian Conservation Corps crew in 1941 as a summer residence and
work site for fire patrol and recreation management personnel. In the 1970s,
volunteers and permit holders sporadically used the cabin, until it was found
eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
Today, the cabin offers visitors a wonderful setting for year-round recreation
and relaxation.

## Recreation

The cabin setting provides ready access to Bumping Lake, where boating and
fishing are popular. Hiking and horseback riding trails extend into the
William O. Douglas and Norse Peak Wilderness areas, and off-road vehicle and
snowmobile access draws visitors to the Little Naches drainage. In winter,
snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing are popular in the American River area.
The cabin is also conveniently located 30 minutes below the summit of Chinook
Pass and Mt. Rainer National Park . A trip along the scenic Mather Parkway is
a fantastic outing. The American River, adjacent to the cabin, offers a scenic
backdrop for anglers. Its cold, clear waters sustain populations of rainbow
and brown trout. Whitewater enthusiasts may enjoy a paddle on the American
River or one of its tributaries.

## Facilities

The Depression-era rustic cabin has a small kitchen, a living/sleeping area,
one bedroom and a full-sized sleeping loft and storage room.

There is a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, a full-size bed and
mattress in the bedroom and four twin size beds with mattresses in the
upstairs loft. Sleeping bags and sleeping pads are not provided. The cabin is
furnished with a dining table and chairs for four people (with hidden leaf to
expand for eight people), a small refrigerator and an electric range.

There is a wood stove, electric light fixtures and a living room electric
baseboard heater. Guests should be aware that open flame devises such as
propane stoves, gas lanterns, and candles are prohibited indoors. The kitchen
is equipped with a coffee maker, pots, dishes and glassware, but guests must
bring several of their own supplies including food, cooking utensils, dish
soap, towels, matches, garbage bags and a first aid kit.

Outside, near the cabin, there is a picnic table and campfire ring. The
original two-seater outhouse has been restored. Wood may be available, but the
supply cannot be guaranteed. There is no water at the cabin, therefore
visitors must bring plenty for drinking, cooking and washing. In the summer,
drinking water can be obtained from the nearby Cedar Spring Campground.

The cabin contains a variety of cleaning supplies. Visitors must remove all
food and garbage and clean the cabin prior to departure. In the summer,
visitors can dispose of their waste in a dumpster in the nearby American Forks
Campground. When the campground is closed for the season, visitors must "pack
it in and pack it out."

CEDAR SPRINGS CAMPGROUND (WA)

Cedar Springs Campground (Wa)

## Overview

American Ridge Lodge is located approximately 38 miles west of Naches,
Washington in the foothills of the East Cascades mountain range. The lodge is
available for reservation year-round, offering visitors a glimpse into the
unique ski history of the area. Larger groups and gatherings will find this
spacious facility to be an ideal setting for recreation and relaxation. In the
1930s, the Yakima Valley Ski Club worked with the U.S. Forest Service to
construct the American River Ski Bowl, one of the first downhill ski areas in
Washington State. The rustic ski lodge and unique 20-seater outhouse were
built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in connection with the ski area,
which was operated into the 1950s. By the late 1950s, White Pass Ski Area was
built, offering deeper snow, a longer ski season and steeper slopes. American
Ridge Ski Bowl lay vacant for years, until the lodge and outhouse were
carefully restored and made available to the public for reservation.

## Recreation

In the summer and early fall, guests will find excellent hiking, fishing,
horseback riding, and mountain biking opportunities in the area. Skiing,
snowshoeing, sledding and snowmobiling are available in the winter months.  
  
Additionally, hundreds of small pools, ponds, rivers and lakes are home to
populations of brook, rainbow and cutthroat trout, as well as salmon, drawing
anglers from all over.

## Facilities

The rustic and spacious 43 x 48 foot lodge, although largely unfurnished, is
equipped with a kitchen area, counter space and benches, several closets and
cabinets, and a wood stove.  
  
Outside, there is a fire ring and picnic tables, as well as plenty of room on
the grounds for dispersed camping, making it an ideal location for groups.
There are no beds at this facility. Visitors must supply their own wood for
the wood stove and fire ring.  
  
The lodge does not have water or electricity on site, but pitcher pump water
is available during the summer months from Cedar Springs Campground located
approximately 1.5 miles from the site. In the fall, winter and spring,
visitors must bring plenty of their own water for drinking, cooking and
washing.  
  
Visitors must also bring their own light source. Battery powered lanterns are
suggested and guests are asked to respect the facility's open flame policy,
which prohibits the use of all open flame devises such as propane stoves, gas
lanterns and candles, while inside the lodge.  
  
Sleeping bags, sleeping pads, towels, dish soap, matches, a first aid kit,
toilet paper and garbage bags are not available at the lodge, and must be
brought by guests to the lodge.

## Natural Features

The lodge is located just outside the boundary of the William O. Douglas
Wilderness, at an elevation of 3,041 feet. Defined by 166,000 acres of snow-
capped peaks, rocky ridges, steep slopes and hundreds of pools and lakes, this
magnificent region pays tribute to wilderness advocate and Supreme Court
justice, William Orville Douglas, who often explored the area on foot.
Wildlife viewing is plentiful in the areas surrounding the lodge. Large herds
of elk and mule deer may cross the landscape, sharing forest habitat with
black bear, squirrels and grouse.

## Nearby Attractions

Boulder Cave Trail is one of the most popular places in the Naches District.
Visitors can walk the accessible trail along the river or explore Boulder
