    Description

    A public use cabin is located near the airstrip:

    Cabin location: N61.455, W142.375
    Refer to USGS maps, McCarthy 1:250,000; McCarthy 1:63,360 (B- 4)

    The Glacier Creek cabin is 8 feet by 10 feet in size and contains a woodstove, 2 standard twin- size wooden bunks, fire extinguisher, informational bulletin board, and pit toilet. Water is available from Glacier Creek or the Chitistone River but must be treated and allowed to settle.

    This cabin is situated 18 miles east of McCarthy, about 1/2 mile south of the Chitistone River.
    Accessible by airstrip, it is situated in an extremely scenic area surrounded by towering cliffs and
    sparkling glaciers.  It offers excellent opportunities for hiking up Glacier Creek, the Chitistone River, or Toby Creek.

    There are numerous bugs; headnets are strongly encouraged during June, July, and August. Obtain firewood from dead and downed wood.

      Landing at Sheep Creek, Alaska

      A very remote spot on the North side of Mt Sanford. Sheep Creek flows off the Sheep Glacier. This is often a one-way strip landing uphill. This is a very rare day when the wind actually favored a downhill landing. The downhill aspect added yet another challenging element!

      Wolverine airstrip, Alaska

      Depart Peavine airstrip; Land Wolverine Airstrip to the W of McCarthy, Alaska. Have to do this on a low wind day as it is up on a mountain top. Definitely one of the coolest places I've ever landed!
