Humes Ranch Cabin, Log cabin in Olympic National Park, Washington, United States
The Humes Ranch Cabin stands along the Elwha River, constructed with traditional wooden logs and featuring a simple rectangular design with basic furnishings.
William Humes built this cabin in 1900 while traveling to the Klondike, establishing one of the first homesteads in the Elwha River region.
In the 1940s, filmmakers Herb and Lois Crisler used the cabin as their base while documenting wildlife for Walt Disney's film The Olympic Elk.
The cabin sits 3 miles from Whiskey Bend Trailhead via Geyser Valley trail, requiring a moderate hike through Olympic National Park's forest terrain.
The National Park Service restored the structure using original materials, maintaining its authenticity while protecting it from the Olympic Peninsula's wet climate.
