This shelter, now known locally as Crisler's "Poaching Cabin," was constructed by Herb Crisler in the mid 1920s during Crisler's early hiking, photographic and hunting expeditions into the Olympics. According to author Ruby Hult, Crisler packed into the shelter a pressure cooker and canning apparatus to use for storing his kill of game. When he gave up hunting around 1930, Crisler left his canning equipment at the shelter.
