Wapiti Ranger Station, Ranger station in Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming, US
The Wapiti Ranger Station features a single-story log structure with a low-pitched gabled roof and modern extensions forming a U-shaped configuration.
Constructed in 1903, this station holds the distinction of being the first United States Forest Service ranger station built with federal funding in the nation.
The station building demonstrates rustic architectural design principles through its use of native forest timber and traditional construction methods.
Located 30 miles west of Cody on US Route 14/16/20, the station provides forest information, maps, and trail details to visitors year-round.
The original 1903 building continues its operational role among newer Forest Service structures, marked by a traditional rail fence perimeter.
