Bureau of Land Management
The White Mountains National Recreation Area has over 200 miles of winter trails with several cozy log cabins built at scenic locations along the trail system. These remote cabins are used by skiers, dog mushers and snow machiners. The wet and marshy trail conditions allow only one of these cabins, Lee's Cabin, to be suitable for summer use. There is one cabin, Fred Blixt Cabin, near the roadside which is not part of the White Mountains system. This cabin is also available for rent year round.
