About

White Mountain Cabin is a historic structure that once served administrative purposes in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Today, this rustic cabin functions as a backcountry shelter available to outdoor recreationists and search and rescue organizations. Located in a scenic setting surrounded by coniferous forest and aspen groves, the cabin offers basic shelter in a remote mountain environment. The cabin is primitive, with no amenities provided. There is no water source, no restroom facilities, and no fee required for use. Visitors must be self-sufficient, bringing all necessary water, supplies, and equipment for their stay. The cabin serves as a valuable resource for backcountry travelers, including hikers, backcountry skiers, snowshoers, and emergency personnel conducting search and rescue operations. Due to its backcountry location and lack of facilities, White Mountain Cabin is best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts comfortable with primitive camping conditions. The surrounding area offers opportunities for wilderness exploration, though visitors should be prepared for changing mountain weather and practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve this resource for future users.
