Manning Cabin is located in the Rincon Mountains at 8,000 feet. It was built by Levi Manning, mayor of Tucson from 1905 to 1907. It was used by the Manning family and later became a backcountry ranger station in the Coronado National Forest. By the 1920s, it had become a base camp for firefighters, a role it still fills today.

Saguaro National Park is also seeking people – from firefighters to hikers who can relate their experiences at the cabin. For more information,
call Meg Weesner at Saguaro National Park : (520) 733-5170.

The Arizona Historical Society will be hosting a related exhibit and series of lectures on Levi Manning and the history of the Rincon Mountains in October.
