The Death Canyon Barn or Patrol Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built as barn in 1945, it was converted into a patrol cabin in 1945 and in the 1950s was a seasonal ranger station. Currently, the historic cabin is not in use by the park, but is a neat place to check out for those interested in the history of the area. Just a couple hundred feet from the cabin is the junction for Static Peak Divide (via the Alaska Basin Trail). You can often see high-alpine animals like marmots and pikas near here. This is a nice spot and landmark to eat a snack and rest before continuing up the trail, turning toward the Static Peak Divide or heading back down toward Phelps Lake.
