| orientationDescription |
The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is defined by its diverse landscapes, boasting high, glaciated alpine peaks, lush valleys of old-growth forest and rugged shrub-steppe country. Nestled in pine and cottonwood along Taneum Creek, the area surrounding the cabin is home to abundant wildlife, including deer, squirrels and migratory birds. Endangered and threatened species, including the northern spotted owl, gray wolf and grizzly bear, also find havens in nearby ecosystems. |
| recreationDescription |
Guests at Taneum Cabin will find that the cabin is in a prime location for hiking, fishing, horseback riding and mountain biking in summer. Off-road vehicles, particularly motorbikes, share nearby trails with hikers and mountain bikers. Anglers will enjoy casting a line into Taneum Creek near the cabin. The creek is not particularly big, but flows through Forest Service lands, providing good opportunities for catching fair-sized trout in June and July. |
