NPS maintains these two old homestead cabins inside the park. These were built and used by a few people who lived in this valley in the early 1900s. They made a living guiding cougar hunts and generally living off the land.

I like to imagine what it must have been like to live here, in the hollow of the land between mountains. Seeing the salmon return, collecting berries with the bears, hunting elk, defending a little garden from the squirrels. Taking a mule 10 miles or more into town.
