Camp at Jumpup Cabin Rental, Arizona

Add to My List Check Off

Since the 1900s, Jumpup cabin has been used by ranchers as well as the Forest Service, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With a panoramic view of Kanab Creek Wilderness, the cabin sits on the edge of Jumpup canyon. From the front door you take in a wide open expanse of red rock descending into canyon walls below, lined with juniper, pinyon, yuccas, sage and cliffrose. With an elevation of 5,500 feet and a predominantly southern exposure, this site is hotter and drier than many other areas in the forest. There is no water at the cabin site, but a short .25-mile hike down the Ranger trail will take you to Lower Jumpup spring, a perennial spring configured to a holding tank. Jumpup cabin is located at the trailhead of Ranger Trail #41, a 17-mile trail that winds through Kanab Creek Wilderness. Hiking this area is very popular in the spring and fall months, but is discouraged during the hottest summer months. Water is scarce and some route-finding is required. Road Advisory: All roads to Jumpup cabin are generally suitable for passenger cars during ideal weather conditions. However, roads are impassible in snow or deep mud. Carry a spare tire, tire repair kit, air compressor, and tow strap. Be prepared for worst-case contingencies!
