Sage Creek Cabin
The Sage Creek Cabin is located in the Pryor Mountains on the Custer Gallatin National Forest. The cabin was built in 1892 to serve as a line cabin for horse and cattle operations before transitioning into the administrative office for the Pryor Mountain Ranger District in 1908. Today, the building's character is still reminiscent of the 1920's when the north wing and kitchen area were added to the original squared shaped building. Sage Creek Cabin is an excellent place to spend time relaxing, or an excellent base camp for spending time in the beautiful Pryor Mountains.

Natural features
The Pryor Mountains are underlain by ancient granites and gneisses that date back 3.0 – 4.0 billion years. The same seas that deposited the sedimentary rocks in the Beartooths covered the ancestral Pryors and deposited the same types of rocks. The Pryors are known for the extraordinary caves that have formed through erosion in the exposed Madison Limestone formation that is ever present in this area. The Sage Creek cabin is situated in a draw, just above Sage Creek, at the foot of Big Pryor Mountain. The area around the cabin is characterized by high desert and lies at the foot of predominantly Doug Fir forests at the higher elevations.
