Indian Henry's Patrol Cabin, place in Washington listed on National Register of Historic Places

Indian Henry's Patrol Cabin is a one-story log structure with a broad front porch, measuring 25 by 15.5 feet (7.6 by 4.7 meters). It stands at 5,300 feet (1,600 meters) in the area known as Indian Henry's Hunting Ground in Mount Rainier National Park. Built in 1915–1916, it was the first patrol cabin in the park.

Built in 1915–1916, the cabin was the first backcountry patrol facility in Mount Rainier National Park, serving an area that had hosted the Wigwam Camp tent camp from 1908 until its abandonment in 1918. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1991, and contributes to the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District, established February 18, 1997.

The name comes from Indian Henry, a guide who accompanied James Longmire on his explorations of the area. The meadow, known as Indian Henry's Hunting Ground, had been used in the 19th century by the Cowlitz and Nisqually tribes. From 1908 a tent camp called Wigwam Camp drew tourists here until it was abandoned in 1918.

The cabin is most easily reached in summer from either the Kautz Creek parking area or from Longmire, though the trail is steep and uneven, requiring sturdy footwear and adequate water. The building is usually locked so visitors cannot enter, but the porch provides a good resting spot and hikers often sign the register left there.

The cabin was the first patrol facility built by the National Park Service in Mount Rainier National Park, erected in 1915–1916 after the Wigwam Camp tent camp, set up in 1908, was abandoned in 1918. It later counted among the park's Park Service-designed rustic architecture listed in the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District, established on February 18, 1997.
