Where to stay

Three kinds of bed. Cabins are public and booked through the government sites. Lodges and hotels are commercial, which is where a listing fee or a booking link belongs.

• Sleep in a public-use cabin

  A wood stove, bunks, and an outhouse on public land. You bring everything else.

• Stay at a wilderness lodge

  A fly-in lodge with meals and a guide, used as a base for fishing, bears, or hiking.

• Stay at the Hotel Captain Cook

  The downtown Anchorage hotel with the Crow’s Nest on the top floor.
