Built around 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the remote southwest backcountry of Grand Teton National Park, the Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin exemplifies National Park Service rustic design. This one-story log structure rests on a log sill foundation and employs 14-inch logs throughout, with a gabled roof finished in asphalt roll roofing. The square cabin's interior floors are laid with 8-inch boards cut to 3-foot lengths to accommodate pack saddle transport—a practical detail reflecting its isolated location and supply constraints. Split-pole chinking seals the interior logs, while the open ceiling exposes the log framing structure. The door retains its original wrought iron hardware. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, the cabin stands as a representative example of Depression-era ranger stations built to standardized designs across the national park system.
