Cabin Trail is a short, easy hike in Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The trail is an out-and-back of about 0.9 miles, with a total elevation gain of 28 feet, so it's a flat walk that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation of about 3,310 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 74°F and October highs around 78°F, while July and August average about 100°F. The trail sits right next to the Visitor Center Trail and the Pahranagat Loop Trail, both about 0.1 mile away. The Dove Dike Trail and Black Canyon Trail are each within a mile.
