Egypt Lakes Warden Cabin Details
When it was built in 1942, the Egypt Lakes Warden Cabin was intended to house wardens whose job it was to patrol Banff National Park on horseback in the summertime, and on snowshoes or skis in the wintertime. The cabin was just one in a network to minimize travel time between cabins and points within the park. The Egypt Lakes Warden Cabin is located on a terrace, two kilometers (1.24 miles) north of Egypt Lakes looking west toward the Pharaoh Peaks. The cabin serves as an important landmark to hikers, backpackers, skiers and snowshoers who are making their way through the area. The Egypt Lakes Warden Cabin is listed on Canada's Historic Places and the Canadian Register, and is a Federal Heritage Building.
