Voted 10/10 | The old cabin is at the junction of the Kendrick trail and the Bull Basin trail...really hard to miss...I have some photos...I could try and scan if your interested... Actually, I think it used to be considered the Fire Lookout until 1964 (or 1967?) when the current tower was constructed.... There is a plague/certificate type thing in the current tower registering it has a historical landmark. The Pumpkin trail hits the current tower on the western end of the mountain and doesn't pass this cabin unless you continue downhill to the aforementioned junction... Inside the small (guess 8'x10')cabin were some very old spring beds (one was a bunk), a fire log, a empty med kit, and many hiker signatures/engravings.... Later Larry/Flagstaff, Az. | |
