The Pass Creek Snowshoe Cabin, built in 1938 in Glacier National Park, is a significant resource both architecturally and historically as a shelter, usually 8–12 miles apart, for patrolling backcountry rangers.
The Pass Creek shelter was originally built by trail crews on their own initiative as a more permanent and bear-proof accommodation than tents, which had been repeatedly raided. The cabin is therefore slightly larger and taller than the Park Service-standard cabins.
