Yellow Mule Cabin in Montana. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 803 public campsites we map in Montana.

Yellow Mule Cabin was built in 1920 and was once used as a ranger station. This cabin is unique because it was constructed according to the builder's preference instead of being built with a standard Forest Service design. It is eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The cabin provides a rustic, backcountry retreat year-round.
