The cabin has no phone access, and no mattresses or cooking utensils. Cabin users should bring sleeping bags, pads, cookstove, cooking gear, food, and #1 stove oil. Proximity: The cabin is located among spruce trees on a low rock outcrop at the transition zone between tide flats and a spruce-hemlock forest. The surrounding terrain is relatively flat with grass and shrubs growing on the tide flats. Wildflowers are prominent in May and June. Wildlife: Brown and black bears, moose, and seasonal waterfowl. The Stikine River tide flats are a major stopover spot during spring and fall bird migrations.
