Dynamite Cabin via Cheesman Ranch Trail
Dynamite Cabin in Mueller State Park isn't a rental cabin but the ruins of a historic late 1800s structure, once a hunter/trapper shelter where a dynamite box was found, giving it its name; it's a popular hiking destination reached via trails like #32 or Cheesman Ranch, offering a glimpse into mining history with interpretive signs and accessible for hiking, snowshoeing, and sometimes biking
We want to practice safety and trail etiquette.
- Yield Appropriately Generally, hikers going uphill have the right of way. Bicyclists should yield to hikers and equestrians, and hikers should yield to equestrians.
- Be Mindful of Sound Keep voices low and avoid loud music or phone calls so others can enjoy the natural sounds.
- Stay on the Trail Cutting switchbacks or going off-trail damages vegetation, causes erosion, and disrupts wildlife habitats.
- Be Friendly A simple nod or greeting to fellow trail users contributes to a welcoming atmosphere.
