New and improved public-use cabins are headed Alaska’s way, and officials want to know where the public thinks they should go.
The new U.S. Forest Service Spencer bench cabin is perched high above the surrounding landscape and Spencer Glacier. July 9, 2015.
King said forest districts in the state proposed around 50 new cabins, and in October, they’ll seek the public’s input on specific locations and cabin types. “It’s hard knowing what all the costs are associated with it right now until you determine those locations,” Schramm said. “And then the number may go up or down on how many cabins you’re able to construct.”
The Forest Service is particularly focused on putting the cabins where there is demand, King said. That means the cabins might end up being located a short hike up a trail that’s on the road system, or even in an existing campground.King said that’s because the Forest Service has seen a recent shift in cabin usage toward places that are closer to communities and less expensive to reach, compared to remote locations that require access by plane or boat.
