Description

Through a permit from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and with funding by the University of Alaska, Alaska State Parks is renting two cabins in the Yakataga area. One cabin is in the Yakataga State Game Refuge, the second, a short distance outside the refuge. Perhaps one of the more wild and remote locations within the Alaska Public Use Cabin System, these two cedar-constructed cabins are located in a thin strip of land bordered by Cape Suckling to the west and Cape Yakataga to the east, the immense Bering Glacier to the north and the dynamic Gulf of Alaska to the south. The grand landscape of the broad face of the Bering Glacier, with giant icebergs floating in Vitus lake and the seemingly endless strand of sandy beach along the coast make this area a scenic wonderland. The heavily mineralized rocks of the region line the glacial shores while glass floats and tons of other flotsam of every kind from across the ocean lie hidden among the bleached and weathered logs of the Gulfs beaches.

Geography:

Preparation is the key to enjoying this area in spite of whatever weather or other conditions may present. Weather in this region is subject to extreme and rapid changes. Storm systems developing in the Gulf of Alaska tend to make this an exciting area to experience their full effect. In preparing for any stay on the Gulf Coast, it will be important to have alternative plans should weather prohibit normal charter flights from being able to land and retrieve passengers. Visitors in this area will need to thoroughly brief their charter flight service regarding what they will do in the event of delays.

Reservations can be made for today and can be made up to 7 Month(s) in advance.
