About Egan Basin Guard Station

Overview

Egan Basin Guard Station is a rustic retreat in the Montpelier Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest of southeastern Idaho, near

the Utah border. The Montpelier area is known for its abundance of year-round recreational opportunities.

The guard station is accessible by car during warmer weather. Winter guests must be prepared to snowmobile to the cabin in snowy weather, and are responsible

for their own travel arrangements and safety. The cabin provides few amenities, so guests should be prepared to haul most of the gear and supplies they'll need to

make their stay comfortable. Recreation

Guests can enjoy nearby trails for hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicles (Idaho OHV

safety message). Winter sports include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
