About This Location

Experience the rugged beauty of Alaska at Ravens Roost Cabin. Perched atop a mountain, this remote USFS site offers incredible views and year-round adventure.

Perched high above the Alexander Archipelago, Ravens Roost Cabin offers an unparalleled Alaskan wilderness experience. This unique federal site sits at an elevation of 1,627 feet, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountainous terrain. Whether you are looking to enjoy cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter or berry picking and wildlife viewing in the summer, this scenic location serves as an incredible basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts.

The cabin is accessible via a challenging three-mile hiking trail starting at Sandy Beach in Petersburg or by helicopter, making it a true backcountry destination. While the site is primitive and features no hookups, it provides essential vault toilets for guest convenience. Because access requires either a strenuous hike or air travel, visitors should be prepared to manage their own transportation and safety arrangements.

This cabin is best suited for adventurous individuals or small groups comfortable with remote, self-sufficient travel. While the site is beginner-friendly in terms of its recreational activities, the journey to reach the cabin requires physical preparation. It is a perfect getaway for those seeking solitude and a genuine connection with the rugged beauty of southeast Alaska.

New to camping? This is a great beginner-friendly spot.
