Camp 6-Bruce Creek Interpretive Site

Camp 6-Bruce Creek Interpretive Site is one of many interpretive sites on the forest.

Camp Six

Loggers, tiehackers (individuals that cut railroad ties), cowboys, and forest rangers lived in cabins similar to this in the early 1900s.  This cabin of “Rocky Mountain” style, with a roof that shelters its front door, stands on the site of “Camp Six” of the Big Horn Timber Company.  It was built around 1906 under the direction of William Dyche, “boss on the hill” for the company. 

Other structures still standing at the site include tow cabins of different architectural styles.  South of these cabins are the burnt remnants of a cook house, 2 bunk houses, and a barn. 

All structures and associated artifacts (cans, bottles) are part of our past history.  Please leave these undisturbed for the enjoyment of others.
