The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is seeking comments on a proposal to add 11 historic cabins into an overnight cabin rental program, offering a new recreation opportunity that is not currently available in the area.
Officials have completed or will soon be completing renovations at 11 cabins across the forest and are proposing new recreation fees to make these facilities available to the public. The recreation cabin rental program provides the unique recreational experience of staying in historic Forest Service cabins while providing funds for the maintenance and renovation of these historic buildings.
On the Logan Ranger District, the Card Guard Station cabin would be available from June 1 through Oct. 15 at $125 per night. The cabin is approximately seven miles up Logan Canyon and is adjacent to the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway (U.S. 89). The cabin can accommodate up to 10 people and has running water, flush toilet, shower, electricity and modern appliances.
At Tony Grove Ranger Station, the cabin would be available year-round at $85 per night. The cabin is approximately 20 miles up Logan Canyon and is adjacent to the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway (Hwy 89). The cabin can accommodate up to four people and has a pit toilet, running water (summer only), propane heat, and extra space for camping.
At Blacksmith Fork Guard Station, the cabin would be available year-round at $75 per night. The cabin is adjacent to the Left Hand Fork of Blacksmith Fork River. The cabin can accommodate up to six people and has a vault toilet, wood stove, and propane lights/appliances. A horse coral is adjacent to the cabin along with RV space.
All fee proposals will be presented before a citizen’s advisory committee, Utah Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Recreation Resource Advisory Committee (RRAC). The next RRAC meeting is expected to be held in January. If this proposal is approved, it is anticipated that the cabins would become available in the winter of 2014. Reservations would be made through the National Recreation Reservation Service.
