Located in the Gros Ventre Range, the log cabin was occupied by Jack Craig from about 1902, who prospected for gold in the area.

Craig advertised his operation on the radio and sold shares in the mine, but it was alleged that he had planted what gold he had on the site.

Geological surveys indicated that what gold could be found had come from a higher country via stream drainage.

Craig stayed at the cabin during the summer and returned home to Salt Lake City in the winter.

The Craig Cabin was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 19, 2016.
