## Overview

Antlers Guard Station was built in 1935 for the fire crews who patrolled
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The Forest Roads were not yet well developed,
and it was impractical for crews to travel daily between the remote parts of
the forest and the ranger station. The Civilian Conservation Corps built this
structure to allow crews to stay where they worked. Antlers Guard Station was
listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.  
  
Guests who stay at Antlers Guard Station can still get away from it all while
enjoying the basic comforts of home. The cabin is accessible by car.

## Recreation

This cabin is popular with rock hounds, botanists, hikers, mountain bikers,
hunters, and ATV riders. Anglers can fish for trout in the North Fork Burnt
River.

## Facilities

Antlers Guard Station is a cozy, rustic cabin with 2 small rooms. The combined
living room and bedroom is furnished with a double futon and 2 sets of bunk
beds that sleep 6 people comfortably. The kitchen has a table and chairs, a
propane range and refrigerator, and utensils for cooking and eating.  
  
A propane fireplace for heating and propane lights are provided. An outhouse
and garage are located near the cabin. Water is available from an outside hand
pump, and there is a fire ring and picnic tables for outdoor dining.  
  
Guests are required to bring garbage bags to pack out their trash, and they
are expected to clean the guard station before leaving. Bedding, towels and
emergency items like flashlights and first aid kits are not provided.

## Natural Features

Antlers Guard Station sits at an elevation of 4,107 feet on the west bank of
the scenic North Fork of the Burnt River. The surrounding forest is ponderosa
pine.  
  
Rattlesnakes, mountain lions and black bears inhabit this area (information on
bear safety).

## Nearby Attractions

The town of Whitney is 2 miles from Antlers Guard Station. This ghost town,
once the home of railway and sawmill workers, fell into decline around 1918.
Several long-abandoned buildings are still standing.

## Overview

Peavy Cabin was built in 1934 by Dr. George Wilcox Peavy, Dean of the School
of Forestry at Oregon Agricultural College (later Oregon State University).
The facility was used as his outdoor laboratory to instruct forestry students.  
  
The cabin was then turned over to the Forest Service and used as a guard
station. Several restoration projects have kept the integrity and charm of
this historic structure, which is now recorded in the Heritage Resource
Inventory as a historic site.  
  
This cabin is available from July 1 until October 31 and is accessible via an
unpaved road. High clearance and 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended.
Guests must bring some of their own supplies; however, Peavy Cabin does offers
few modern conveniences to make for a comfortable stay.

## Recreation

Peavy Trailhead is adjacent to the cabin and provides access to the North Fork
John Day Wilderness via the Peavy Trail #1640 and the Cunningham Cove Trail
#1643. Both trails connect with the Elkhorn Crest National Recreation Trail
#1611. These trails are suitable for hikers and horseback riders.  
  
  
The North Fork John Day River is a popular fishing spot for anglers wishing to
catch smallmouth bass and steelhead.
