The cabin is mostly equipped with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, but you'll want to bring some necessities. Two single beds and mattresses accommodate two guests, but you'll want to bring a sleeping bag or sheets. In the kitchen, you'll find a table and chairs, cookware, dishes, utensils, a propane heater, stove, oven, and lights. Firewood is provided. There is no water or electricity at the site, so please bring plenty of water for cooking, drinking, and washing. Flashlights and lanterns are useful, as well as towels, dish soap, matches, toilet paper, and garbage bags. All trash and food must be packed out, and you'll want to leave the fire lookout cabin clean for the next guest.
From the top of the cabin, you'll be treated to the most incredible views in Wyoming.
