Summary
[edit]
| Description | The Whitney Ranger Station originally served as an administrative outpost for the Unita National Forest. In 1915 the National Forest Land in the Whitney Area was transferred to the Wasatch National Forest. The original two-room log cabin was built in 1915. In 1929, the house was expanded with a 12’ X 14’ feet frame storeroom. The Whitney Ranger Station House provided a permanent station for the Forest Service work crews in the summer and a remote station during the rest of the year until the mid-1920’s, when the Mill Creel Ranger Station was constructed. The station operated as a remote work center for crews until the mid-1960’s when the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) received a special permit to use the house. The UDWR maintained the station until 1986 when the road to Whitney was improved for oil exploration. The house was not used again until 1998 when it was fixed up to use as a warming hut for snowmobilers and for the Incident Command Post (ICP) for the Summit County Search and Rescue during rescue operations. In 1998 a new a new toilet was installed at the Whitney Ranger Station to replace the old one. The Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District maintains the building with help from the Summit County Search and Rescue. |
