Strawberry Cabin is a historic 1941 lookout cabin perched atop Strawberry Butte at 6,100 feet elevation in the heart of the Elkhorn Mountains. The cabin exemplifies the C-46 one-room cabin plan designed by William Fox, showcasing distinctive rustic Forest Service log architecture from the late 1930s and early 1940s, including ventral saddle notches and chopper-cut log ends. Located 15 miles south of Helena, the cabin provides access to the diverse landscape of the Elkhorn Mountains Wildlife Management Unit, the first of its kind in the National Forest System. The area spans from prairie to alpine environments, offering numerous hiking trails and roads to the north end of the Elkhorns.
