Overview Notch Cabin is located in a remote part of southwestern Montana, within proposed wilderness, and is open from July 1 through November.quoted from the description Recreation.gov publishes for this facility

At 8,460 ft, expect nights below freezing well into June, water systems shut off outside a short summer window, and a long climb to get here. The season above is what the agency publishes; snow can move it.

Getting there

What the agency says about the road in. For a long rig this is often the binding constraint — a site that fits is no use behind four miles of shelf road — and none of it appears in the campsite data.

Rigs not recommended on this roadThe final two miles of the access road to the cabin are not suitable for horse trailers.quoted from the description
High clearance or 4WD advisedA high-clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle is required to access the cabin, which is located near the end of a very rough primitive road, with large rocks and deep ruts.quoted from the description
