At the end of the line, it's Cabin #9.
Greetings and Happy Post-Time Change!
     There may be snow on the ground, but that hasn't slowed the pep in this crew's step, as there is no shortage of spring cleaning to be done!  Saturday's high reached 27 degrees, and last night's low came in at 16.  The flurries that flew at different parts of the day amassed to 2" on the ground.  It sure is pretty, but there are plenty of hidden slick spots.  Traction devices are your best friend in these conditions.
     In between the snow squalls, our team has been reorganizing storage, washing dishes and utensils, cooking up some tasty meals, and making those symbolic kerosene lanterns sparkle!  Today marks a pre-season tradition, regardless of weather, and that's scrubbing down every nook and cranny of a backcountry kitchen that sees some intense use.  It's an all-hands-on-deck sort of task, so that's where we'll be!  Stay tuned to the updates coming from the NPS in regards to road and trail closures, as there will likely be several over the next few days.  Safe travels!

My husband and I stayed in Cabin No. 9 back in the 80s. There was no pretty porch back then and there was a new window as a bear had taken out the old one the week before we got there! Wonderful memories! We have friends coming up in October.Thanks for all your hard work crew. Enjoy the snow! :)

My wife and I stayed in Cabin #9 a few years ago.............great cabin, but then, aren't they all..............the photo brought back some good memories. There wasn't snow on the ground then, but we sat out a heck of an electrical/thunderstorm on that porch around 5 pm. And I recall at about 3 a.m., going outside, and looking up to see the brightest full moon I think I have yet seen.............great memories.
