A comfortable, well-located campground in Juneau designed for an easy and enjoyable outdoor stay.

Rustic chalet-style cabin in a subalpine meadow with panoramic views of Juneau and the Chilkat Mountains.

John Muir Cabin was built in 1980 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of John Muir's visit to the Gastineau Channel area. This 15' x 12' chalet-style log cabin sits in a subalpine meadow 1,550 feet above the Mendenhall Valley, offering spectacular panoramic views of Juneau, Gastineau Channel, and the Chilkat Mountains. The cabin is accessed via a 3.5-mile hike, ski, or snowshoe trek on the Auk Nu Trail, which winds through muskeg and mature forest. It features two levels of sleeping bunks, a wood stove, and a propane furnace, providing a rustic yet scenic retreat for outdoor enthusiasts year-round.
