Elevation9004 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe cabin occupies a high mountain meadow surrounded by evergreens, with 9,004-foot Ross Peak rising close by. Ancient glaciers carved this alpine basin in the Bridger Range, leaving behind dramatic peaks and open meadows that shift appearance with the light. Elk, deer, marmots, and raptors are common sightings. The meadow offers expansive views, while the surrounding forest provides some wind shelter. The landscape feels raw and exposed at this elevation, especially in winter when snow blankets everything and visibility extends for miles on clear days.

Lodging & AccommodationsBattle Ridge Cabin itself serves as the primary accommodation. It includes two rooms, two bunk beds, a cot, and wood-burning stoves. Guests must bring their own bedding and other necessary items.

Programs & ActivitiesNo cultural or educational programs are mentioned.

Best CampsitesThere's one cabin. It sleeps 4-5 people comfortably. Reviewers suggest bringing extra chairs if your group is larger than four, since seating is limited. The cabin sits close enough to the access road that you'll hear occasional vehicle noise, but trees provide visual screening. Inside, two wood stoves work well for heat. The newer outhouse is a short walk from the main structure.
