Dale Clemens Cabin

My friend and I really enjoyed this cabin. The view is unparalleled and lived up to all expectations. The trail into the cabin in the summer is easy to follow and well marked. The cabin itself is fantastic and very spacious. The outhouse is clean and not to far from the cabin (you know it's all about the quality of the outhouse)! These are my two concerns. The first is people that hike this trail seem to have a complete lack of respecting people's privacy. We had this cabin for two nights and the full day we were out there we encountered three separate couples that walked up to the cabin interrupting our experience. One couple was a delight, we overheard the second couple talking about wanting to look inside (no thank you!) and the third couple was the worst. We hadn't brought a lantern but we were playing card games at 10 pm inside when a man crept up the stairs onto the porch. He stuck his head up in front of the window behind my friend and scared the absolute crap out of me. It was totally unacceptable and an invasion of privacy. Just be warned that if you stay in this highly popular cabin you will have unwanted visitors. I have one friend that brings bright flagging with a pre-written message and puts it up when she goes to cabins. Highly recommend that. That brings me to my next concern and that is that this cabin does not have locks or deadbolts on the doors. I would love to see locks installed since it's in bear country and swarming with unwanted guests.

Becsure to bring Tp.
As there was no kerosene and we couldn’t carry it in, dress warmly.

Amazing view from the cabin down into the bay!!!

The view from this cabin was incredible. The cabin was beautiful. I definitely want to go back!

We had an incredible time at Dale Clemens! Gorgeous sunset when we arrived and gorgeous sunrise the next morning. The cabin was clean and still warm from the previous group. (Thanks!) First full moon of 2023. We used the 1.5 gallons of kerosene that was left at the cabin. We left 2 gallons of kerosene at the cabin for the next crew. A magical trip!

The view is pure heaven! Glad we had snow shoes to get up and back end of May. We took the winter trail since we didn’t know what snow conditions would be like on the summer trail. Is there a way to check snow conditions?

It was a workout to get to this cabin in the rotten snow, but the views were totally worth it! Please remember to pack out whatever you bring in and leave the cabin cleaner than you found it!

Cabin was clean and warm throughout the entire stay.It's my favorite cabin view in Alaska. The two mile hike uphill in the soft snow was an effort, but always worth it. For reference the heater burned about 1.25 gallons of kerosene per day in temps of 25-35.

The cabin is in great shape, the deck and the views of Resurrection Bay are incomparable. The heater took a bit to warm up the cabin (2-3 hours) but once it gets going, the cabin can easily feel like a sauna even in the lowest setting. There is a lot of snowmachine traffic during the daytime, and that means you will hear the noise from it, but I personally didn't mind, and did not bother me at all. The trail is easy to hike and/or ski, the snowmachine traffic was always kind when sharing the trail.
You can easily go for hikes or skis around the cabin during the day.

Got lucky with clear skies! Stunning cabin from the winter route on Thanksgiving. Took a bit for the cabin to heat up, but that’s to be expected. Not a snowmobile in sight. Will be back!
