Patrol cabin

This is the patrol cabin at Three Lakes. This isn't a very popular trail, so we wondered why a cabin was needed here. As it happened, a ranger stayed the night here Saturday night and told us that it was mostly used in the autumn during hunting season. The National Park boundary is just a stone's throw away and hunting is allowed in the national forest beyond there. I guess the Park Service likes to have a ranger presence to deter hunters from coming into the park, where hunting is illegal.
