The northernmost and most technically demanding of the White Knob Mountains' four 11ers, with two summits nearly a mile apart.
The shortest approach is from Corral Creek Road on the range's west side. Hike up the Corral Creek drainage until able to access the northwest ridge, then follow it to the top of North Cabin Mountain (the lower, northern summit). From there, ascend the connecting ridge -- the technical crux of the climb -- to the higher south summit, which is the true Cabin Mountain. Cabin Mountain is also commonly climbed from the east as the last leg of a long traverse that includes Lime, Redbird, and Shelly Mountain.
