Twogood Cabin
Overview
Twogood Cabin offers guests a unique opportunity to camp in the forest of western Montana, in a rustic, old-time setting. It is available between the end of May through the middle of October, as well as throughout December, providing access to the surrounding mountains' best features and recreational attractions.
Hiking, backpacking and horseback riding is popular during the warmer months and visitors enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing on the snow-covered terrain.
Twogood Cabin is located 6 miles up a non-motorized trail.
Recreation
Fishing is popular in the adjacent stream and anglers might catch a variety of trout. At least two other mountain creeks are available in the area. The Warm Springs Creek is a larger stream and provides excellent fishing for cutthroat and other trout. Visitors also enjoy wading in the cool water.
A variety of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails follow the creek. The large, rolling meadows are a winter elk range. When the snow melts, moose and deer may be spotted in the meadows.
The 6-mile hike includes several creek crossings.
Off-road vehicles are not allowed on the trail, however, horses and other livestock are welcome. In the winter, the trails are popular for cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

Natural Features
The rustic cabin is situated on Porcupine Creek, in a road-less area of the southern Bitterroot Mountains, at an elevation of about 5,600 feet. It was built in 1952 by Harry Twogood and Clifford Wetzsteon and was used throughout the 1970s as a range camp until it was opened to the public for recreation purposes.
The Bitterroot forest is home to many species of wildlife, from mule deer, whitetail deer, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, black bear, mountain lions, and moose to many varieties of smaller animals and birds.
