Richard's Cabin

Richard’s Cabin is named after Richard Platz. The cabin was constructed as a shelter to accommodate his mining, trapping, and hunting activities before the White Mountains became a National Recreation Area. In remembrance for his pioneering spirit and hard work, the BLM has retained the name “Richard’s Cabin.” The cabin is 16 ft x 25 ft, and sleeps 6 people. Cabins are equipped with bunk beds, a table and benches, cook stove, lantern, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse. Renters need to bring fuel for the lanterns and cook stoves. BLM converted from white gas to propane
