The White Mountains

When deciding on where to hike in Alaska don't forget to check out BLM (Bureau of Land Management) managed lands. One such area is the White Mountains. This recreation area covers one million acreas and lays about an hours drive outside Fairbanks. This area can have limited hiking in the summer due to wet conditions but is great during the winter especially when you use the 12 cabins available. The average distance between cabins is 10 miles. GPS coordinates can be found here.

The smaller cabins are 10' by 12' and sleep four people in bunk beds. The larger 12' by 16' cabins can sleep 4 to 6 people and there is a new cabin that is 16' by 16'.

The cabins come equipped with bunk beds, a table and benches, cook stove, lantern, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse. Renters need to bring fuel for the lanterns and cook stoves.You should be prepared to cut firewood if you use these cabins. Items you should bring as with any hiking trip are maps and compass, matches, sleeping bag and pad, extra food items and water, and warm clothing.
