About This Location

Experience a unique stay in a refurbished 1960s railroad caboose. Perfect for hikers, this USFS cabin offers direct access to the scenic Denver Glacier trail.

The Denver Caboose Cabin offers an unforgettable lodging experience, featuring a refurbished 1960s railroad caboose retired from the historic White Pass and Yukon Railroad. Nestled at an elevation of 2,948 feet, this unique site serves as the ultimate basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Alaskan wilderness and the nearby Denver Glacier.

The cabin is situated in a remote, pristine setting managed by the USFS. Access is provided exclusively via the White Pass and Yukon Railroad from May 1 to September 30. Please note that the surrounding area is private railroad property, so visitors must plan their travel arrangements carefully and remain prepared for self-sufficient backcountry conditions.

While this is a primitive site without utility hookups, guests will find the essential comforts of fire rings for evening gatherings and immediate access to rewarding hiking trails. This destination is best suited for experienced adventurers and hikers who value solitude and a one-of-a-kind connection to railway history. Because the cabin is closed to reservations during the off-season, planning your trip within the operational window is essential for a successful stay.
