Cabin Ridge is a 4.5-mile out-and-back hike in Idaho's St. Joe Ranger District, part of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The trail rises from a low point of 2,662 feet to a high of 4,573 feet, with an elevation gain of 1,914 feet, and is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open from June 1 to September 30. The route is natural-surface and allows horses and bikes. It is not an accessible trail. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Mullan, which sits about 1,370 feet lower, show July and August highs around 81°F with lows near 49°F. That station's figures are not adjusted for the higher elevation on the ridge. The Big Creek trailhead is the parking for this trip. Within a few miles are the Lemonade Peak and Ames Ridge NRT hikes, and Huckleberry Campground offers a place to stay.
