Laughton Glacier Cabin

What an incredible place! A beautiful cabin, a fun and easy hike, and one of the most fascinating ecosystems you’ll ever experience. The reward at the end is a truly breathtaking glacier that never fails to leave me in awe.

For the past three years, one of my favourite traditions has been spending the evening by the river, curled up with the cabin’s log books, reading stories and memories left by visitors from around the world. It added so much charm and connection to the experience. When I returned for my fourth visit, I discovered the original log books had been removed for historical preservation. I completely understand why, but I truly hope copies are placed back in the cabin one day, it was one of the most memorable parts of every stay.

I can’t recommend this adventure enough. It’s perfect for solo travellers, couples, friends, and even families with young children. Whether you’re there for the scenery, the peaceful cabin, or the unforgettable glacier, it’s an experience you’ll be talking about long after you leave.

Very well maintained shelter near an open section of the Skagway River. Be sure to check out the side trails and bench down by the water. Cabin gets excellent early sun so make sure you pack coffee and a mosquito net for a morning on the front porch!
