Yeager's Cabin

The feel

Yeager's Cabin is a BLM cabin at the far end of the Wickersham Creek Trail network in the White Mountains. The Wickersham Creek Trail runs 16 miles from the Wickersham Dome Trailhead to the cabin. The cabin is primitive, with a wood stove and an outhouse, no running water, no electricity and no cell coverage.

It is primarily used in winter, when snowmobiling runs October 15 to April 30. In summer the hike along the Summit Trail is 16.5 miles.
