On the Ghost Town Byway in Montana’s Garnet Mountains, travelers will encounter two old log cabins: a warden’s cabin from the 1940s and a stage stop cabin from the 1890s.

Stage Rest Stop

Only the walls remain of the hand-hewn log structure that served as a stage rest stop in the 1890s. The 15-mile trip between the mining towns of Coloma and Bearmouth took the better part of a day in the 1890s.
