Get away from the daily grind just a few minutes outside of Valdez.
Take the opportunity so soak in the peace and the amazing scenery. Push yourself to summit a mountain, boost up the adrenaline with rock climbing, enjoy the alpine on a hike through the alpine at your pace. Then return to relax in a 1930's era lookout with amazing 360° glacier and mountain views.
Perched on the side of a mountain with dozens of glaciers and peaks surrounding you, you'll find peace mixed with adventure.
Glacier Lookout is not a luxury get away resort. It does not have wifi or power. Celluar signal comes and goes inside the lookout. It is a place for those looking to escape to the mountains, take a step back in time, and isolate one's self and embrace the mountain wilderness of Alaska.
Things to ConsiderGlacier Lookout has the traditional West Coast early 1900's 14ft by 14ft lookout cabin.
Glacier Lookout sits above a 10.5ft tall tower to help give views over the ledge and down on the face of Valdez Glacier and Valdez Glacier Lake 3,600ft below.
The lookout cabin is made of 4 walls with end to end windows. 4.5ft tall to ensure you get the full view.
For Chugach Mountains snow and wind loads we've made the decision to upgrade the roof beams to be much more stout.
