ranger stations
Wilderness administrative buildings
Ranger stations are buildings in parks, forests, or wilderness areas where rangers work and visitors can get information.
They typically serve as administrative headquarters and public contact points, offering maps, permits, safety advisories, and trail conditions: We stopped at the ranger station to ask about backcountry camping.
