If you’re looking for a true winter adventure, the Don Moller Cabin in Alaska has everything you’re looking for and more. Accessible only by hiking, snow machining, snow shoeing, or cross country skiing, this is the perfect weekend adventure. Pack your gear and head on out to this unbelievable remote cabin outside of Juneau.
Take a trail out into the forest and enjoy everything that winter in Alaska has to offer. You’ll find snow-capped mountain peaks, tons of feet of snow, and a warm, cozy cabin at the end of the trail.
Elevation gain is 1,312 feet throughout the trail, and there are boardwalks along the way. Although if the snow is deep enough, you may not see them at all.
The trail doesn’t require much in the way of technical ability, so it’s a fun hike for the whole family. Just make sure to be aware of avalanche danger in the area, and be prepped on our winter backcountry hiking before you go.
You’ll find a table and benches, a propane furnace supplied with propane, a wood stove, snow shovel and an outhouse. There’s also a beautiful covered deck that extends from the front of the cabin and an additional deck extends from the second floor and overlooks the valley.
There’s a double and single bunk on the first floor, and the loft can sleep up to four people. Plenty of room for a large family or two groups!
You can make your reservations at the Recreation.gov website, where they detail all the information you’ll need to know for booking your stay.
Plan ahead for a wonderful weekend away. This winter adventure is a beautiful way to experience Alaska’s backcountry in the Tongass National Forest!
