If you don't you'll need to be experienced and come prepared to camp in harsh wilderness. It is my understanding that the cabins are only rented to one group at a time, no matter how many beds they need. It is a shame that the folks in the cabin with ample space were not thoughtful enough to help two young women in over their heads in the wilderness. That clearly would have been the decent and right thing to do. Good points Deanne – you must make a reservation well in advance to get into the cabins.

We had tried to get them into a cabin months before but no one cancelled. However, when they were there they met three people who were staying in one of the cabins with 12 beds? They were the only people in the cabin. They were very nice but did not invite them to share the cabin. This seems quite unfair. So my daughter and her friend were denied staying in a cabin. Can you please explain why two young women were denied access to a cabin in 40 degree weather?
