Hiking / Wildlife viewing:
Choose from many amazing hikes, all just a short drive south of the lodge. These hikes can launch you up the drainages of Rainbow Basin, or a side trip to our mountain chalet, and, with a little effort, close-up views of Devil’s Thumb and Mount Silvertip can be found. You can travel on a cable bridge over a rushing river to the face of a glacier. Maps can be provided to the independent hiker.

Fishing:
Here are many local fishing spots, with many species of fish valued by the anglers, including: Rainbow trout, lake trout, Arctic char, northern pike, Dolly Varden, and Arctic grayling. Many fishing spots are known for their abundance of blueberries.

Flight-seeing:
Please inquire at the lodge upon arrival.

The Owners

Annie and Mike Hopper along with their children Huckleberry Jack and Katie Marie, opened the 7,300 sq. ft. timber framed, handmade lodge in 2009, after 10 years of construction. They built the new lodge on the bluff overlooking the Black Rapids Glacier and Delta River, and began the restoration of the 100-year-old Black Rapids roadhouse located on the road below the lodge.

For them, there is nothing like summer in Alaska and they embrace every single day. They believe that when visitors decide to get to know a place like the Alaska Range and explore its treasures, they will truly understand how this land transforms people’s lives.

Let them take you to visit the sheep on nearby hillsides, hike trails to timberline and enjoy panoramic views of the Alaska Range Mountains and the Delta River. Take flight seeing trips to areas still untouched. Enjoy the quiet, the wildflowers, the wilderness and pristine valleys of the area.
