The BLM manages more than 100 miles of trails for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers in the Garnet area. The heart of this system is the 12-mile Back Country Byway System, which brings you to historical Garnet Ghost Town. Contact the BLM office, 329-3914, for maps and information on the trail system. The agency has published a directory of 41 cabins and 13 lookouts for rent in the Northern Region, which includes Montana. Facilities include guard stations, work centers or fire lookouts in remote areas.
Cabins have chairs, tables, stoves and bunks, but no bedding is furnished.
Electricity and running water generally aren't available. They accommodate from two to 10 people. The directory is available at local Forest Service offices. Call 329-3814 for local information. Picnic Areas Pattee Canyon Picnic Area .
