Moose Pass, Alaska, is a scenic, small community on the Kenai Peninsula, nestled in the Chugach National Forest between Anchorage and Seward, known for its stunning glacial lakes (like Trail Lake), abundant wildlife, and access to epic hiking on the Iditarod National Historic Trail.

Each of our cabins has a minimum of the following appliances supplied for our convenience:

Trail Lake Lodge
Trail Lake Lodge is just 325 ft down the street from us with a full-service restaurant and bar.
Hours vary, but they are generally open from 8 am to 9 pm for food, and later for drinks.
The owner is a retired Marine helicopter pilot who enjoys visiting with our students.
Estes Brothers Grocery
Located across the street from Trail Lake Lodge, Estes Brothers Grocery is a mom-n-pop store with espresso, freshly made deli sandwiches, and small convenience store.
You can always bring your sandwich back and enjoy it at the picnic table near the lake, or on the covered deck off the pilot study room.

Arguably the best fudge on earth, they have a lot of fudge flavors to choose from and the selection changes daily!
If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on some ridiculously good fudge.
They occasionally have fresh coffee for sale.
