Overview

Recreation: The Coldfoot Cabin offers visitors a road-accessible getaway during fall, winter and spring. This cabin is a great way to experience the far north outside of summer months. This is a primitive cabin with no electricity or running water.

Popular activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, and aurora viewing throughout the winter months. Hiking is possible in the fall, before the snow is too deep. Commercial dogsled and backcountry ski tours are available in the area.

Firewood is not provided, and there is no cutting in the nearby area. The cabin driveway is plowed and shoveled approximately every three weeks throughout the winter, so access could be difficult after heavy snowfall.

Directions: From the city of Fairbanks, Alaska, travel north a total of 84 miles on the Steese (AK-6) and Elliott (AK-2) Highways to the Dalton Highway Junction. Turn right onto the Dalton (AK-11) and continue to milepost 175. Turn left (west of the highway) into the parking area. The Coldfoot Cabin is located on Airport road in Coldfoot.

Nice little cabin, sleeps four comfortably, two to a room. Spent three nights up there in minus 15 degree weather. Once the wood burner got going plenty warm. Definitely bring your own firewood. Hard to say must see destinations as we were there mainly to photograph northern lights. Didn’t disappoint. Coldfoot camp nearby, great place for food, though cabin did come with a propane Coleman stove. Can’t wait to go back up again.
