Overview

Eagle Glacier Cabin is open year-round for outdoor enthusiasts. This remote retreat is tucked into a peaceful lake setting that offers spectacular mountain views and its very own glacier. The site is accessed by hiking or snowshoeing or cross-country skiing 5.5 miles from the Amalga Trailhead off of Glacier Highway. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Recreation

The Amalga Trail used to access the cabin continues on for another 2 miles to the glacier. Cross-country skis are not advised for this trail in winter due to rough terrain. The Amalga trail can get muddy in the warmer months, so hikers should be sure to wear the proper footwear. The trail is somewhat challenging but with only 300 feet in elevation gain. An additional trail starts at the woodshed and continues about half a mile to a large waterfall. Berries are available for picking in the summer.

Natural Features

The cabin offers excellent views of Eagle Glacier Lake, Eagle Glacier and the surrounding mountains. The old-growth forest surrounding the cabin is spruce and hemlock with dense alder and willow patches. This area is home to eagles and black and brown bears ( bear safety information ). The trail leading to the cabin passes several beaver dams where beavers and waterfowl are often seen.
