Need to Know

Blue Creek Warden Cabin is used for Parks Canada maintenance and other work. It is one of several backcountry warden cabins that have been around for a century or so--a working precious piece of history. The cabin and outbuildings are for maintenance work, and not open to the public.

Description

The spur trail to the Blue Creek Warden Cabin is found 14.7 miles west of Willow Creek trail camp at an unmarked trail junction. Go left/south here to find the Blue Creek Warden Cabin. Initially in the trees, almost immediately, this spur trail pops out into the broad, grassy front yard of the warden cabin. The cabin and several outbuildings are ahead at the edge of the forest on the right/north. To the left is the expansive, grassy front yard with a horse corral and another outbuilding at its edge to the left.

The view from the warden cabin across the front yard, is stellar. The Rajah, 9,901 ft., and Mt. Simla, 9,140 ft., can be seen rising above the forest not too far away.

Flora & Fauna
