About
Crow Pass Cabin is a remote 16x16-foot A-frame cabin located in the Chugach Mountains, positioned 500 yards off the Crow Pass Trail at approximately 3,500 feet elevation. This backcountry cabin sits in open alpine tundra above treeline near Crystal Lake, surrounded by low shrubs, grasses, and summer wildflowers with stunning mountain views. The cabin accommodates up to 6 people and features wooden bunks on both the main floor and sleeping loft, a table with benches, a kerosene heater, fire extinguisher, snow shovel, and broom. An outside pit toilet is provided. The cabin is located along the Crow Pass Trail, a scenic 24-mile segment of the Iditarod National Historic Trail that runs from Girdwood to Eagle River. Points of interest along the route include the historic Monarch Mine ruins, waterfalls, and views of Raven Glacier. Access requires a 3-mile hike from the Crow Pass Trailhead with an elevation gain of 2,080 feet. The trail features steep switchbacks in places and small stream crossings near the cabin. Wildlife in the area includes black and brown bears, wolves, moose, Dall sheep, mountain goats, marmots, and ptarmigan. The cabin serves as an ideal base camp for thru-hikers, mountain climbers, and backcountry adventurers exploring the Chugach Mountains.
