Location Information
Directions: Use 77 Maxwell Mountain Road in your GPS or mapping app. Maxwell Mountain Road is about 1/2-mile from the highway on your left at the black mailbox, but there is no sign. Follow the paved road and veer right where you see the Dead End No Outlet sign. There is a small area to turn around where the cabin is, so you may want to walk down the road to the old cabin.
