What to Expect in Igloo Campground

Igloo is nestled between Cathedral Mountain and Igloo Mountain, alongside its eponymous creek. There is no potable water or electricity at this campground—you must bring a filter or purification tablets with you. Igloo Creek itself flows clear, so you need not worry about silt or other sediment clogging your filter.

Igloo is a wooded campground, with some screening between sites. The immediate area offers myriad day hiking opportunities, with graveled creek beds offering quick, comparatively easy access to higher elevations. Cathedral, Igloo and Sable Mountains are all within easy reach, and all offer beautiful views from high on their flanks. Dense forest exists to the northeast, primarily around and on the flanks of Igloo Mountain.

Small animals, like arctic ground squirrels and snowshoe hare, are commonly seen in this area. Larger animals, like Dall's sheep, grizzly bears and wolves are occasionally seen. Sable Pass, less than five miles to the west, is a good place to look for raptors, such as golden eagles.
