Laughton Glacier Cabin

Laughton Glacier Cabin offers a truly unique Alaskan wilderness experience, situated on the north side of the majestic Sawtooth Mountains just two miles from the Canadian border. This remote Federal site provides a rugged escape for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in a high-elevation landscape at 2,129 feet. The setting is raw and untamed, making it an ideal destination for experienced hikers and adventurers who enjoy backcountry exploration.

The cabin serves as a rustic basecamp accessible via a scenic train ride followed by a 1.5-mile hike. While the site provides essential shelter, guests should be prepared for a primitive experience with no utility hookups. Basic amenities include fire rings for evening warmth and direct access to local hiking trails that showcase the surrounding glacial terrain. Because of the limited facilities, visitors must be self-sufficient and prepared for the challenges of the Alaskan backcountry.

This location is best suited for adventurous tent campers and hikers who are comfortable with remote travel and self-reliance. Please note that the cabin is only accessible by rail during the operating season, and guests are responsible for all their own travel arrangements, gear, and safety supplies.
