Brackett Creek Cabin |
 |
 |
|
Brackett Creek Cabin is located 20 miles north of Bozeman in the heart of the Bridger and Bangtail Mountains. Bridger Bowl Ski Area, base elevation 6,100 feet with 350 inches average annual snowfall, is a quick drive 5 miles down the canyon, making Brackett Creek Cabin one of the closest rental properties. The Bohart Ranch, with many miles of cross country trails and home to the 2002 US National Cross Country Ski Championships, also is just 4 miles away.
Spring through autumn, Brackett Creek offers unexpected fly fishing rewards, with rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout to 15+ inches. Of course there are bigger rivers not far from here; to the west, the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson are well known for superlative fishing. To the east are the Shields and Yellowstone Rivers.
Brackett Creek Cabin is surrounded by public lands perfect for outdoor recreation, ranging from a lazy walk in the woods to mountain biking, snowmobiling, or a challenging rock climb. And don't be surprised if you find yourself in the middle of a cattle drive! Numerous trail heads in the Gallatin National Forest are within a few miles in all directions. On Forest Service roads leading up Grassy Mountain, you might see mule and whitetail deer, moose, black bears, bobcats, owls and eagles. A hike up nearby 9,600-foot Sacajawea, tallest peak in the Bridger's, affords a spectacular view west over the Gallatin Valley and of other nearby mountain ranges; the Tobacco Root, Madison, Gallatin and others. To the east, you can easily see 30 miles to the Crazy Mountains.
Originally part of the Flaming Arrow Ranch in Bridger Canyon, the cabin is made of full round logs. It was moved to its present site in the 1970s. |
