Email:

Located in southern Montana, the Gallatin National Forest offers 24 administrative cabins to the public for recreational use. Most of the cabins were built in the 1920s and 1930s to provide field quarters for forest rangers and crews who worked trails, fire, range, and forestry projects. These cabins are an important part of Forest Service history; but now they play a new role --- serving the public.
