Arctic Valley’s public use cabin at the top of Chair 2 is an awesome place to spend a night! With views of Anchorage and Cook Inlet, and the solitude of being miles from the city, it’s an experience like no other.
Arctic Valley’s Chair 2 Public Use Cabin is accessed via an intermediate-difficulty hike with about 1300 feet of elevation gain from Arctic Valley’s parking lots. We recommend taking the Rendezvous Peak/Gordon-Lyon trail to the Saddle, then cutting around Rendezvous Peak (there are trails around both the front and back) to the cabin. The trail under the chairlift, while a bit shorter, is heavily eroded, very steep in places, and is not recommended. See the ‘Map’ tab for recommended route.
The cabin sleeps 4 people on 2 queen-sized, padded plywood bunks. The large deck on the front side is a great place to relax and enjoy the view. For blustery days, there’s a counter inside with seating, electric lights, and propane heat. Electrical outlets are provided for charging devices, and AT&T cell service is generally good. An incinerator toilet is provided.
There is no running water or trash service in the cabin. Pack out what you pack in, and bring your own water. Please leave the cabin tidy for the next guests. Campfires are not allowed at Arctic Valley. Pets are allowed in the cabin.
Check in is 4pm, check out is noon.
