Cabin camping in Southeast Alaska is popular — it can be hard to get your favorite (or second or third favorite) booked if you haven’t created a calendar event for yourself to hit recreation.gov the second reservations open. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more options? 

You can comment now on a proposed cabin 4.4 miles up the Herbert Glacier Trail. The Herbert Glacier Cabin site is even designed to accommodate a helicopter landing, making it accessible for folks who can’t make the hike. This is something that could make a beloved trail even better — unlike a mine. 

So take a moment to let the US Forest Service know how much you would value a cabin and how much you already love the trail and the access it provides to beautiful natural spaces for hiking, biking, gazing — whatever it is you’re inspired to do.
