ACCESS: The Cabin Creek Creek Trailhead is small. Be ready with a back-up plan if you cannot find a parking spot. Please do not park in the sagebrush or trees on the side of the road, it destroys delicate alpine habitat.
Please don’t cut switchbacks! It causes erosion, destroys vegetation, and ruins the trail. This trail has switchbacks, please use them!
Most of our trailheads do not have trash facilities. Please be prepared to pack out all of your trash from the trail and trailhead.
Fires are allowed ONLY on a fire pan or fire blanket. If you see a rock fire ring on the ground it is illegal, please don't use it. Bring a camp stove to cook instead of having a fire. Check fire restrictions before you go.
Bury human waste 6-8 inches deep. All toilet paper and wipes must be packed out. There is no restroom at Cabin Creek Trailhead.
Store your food in a bear hang or bear proof container. A fed bear IS a dead bear. Help keep our wildlife wild.
