Located in the heart of the historic Kennecott mining town, this iconic lodge sits directly beside Root Glacier and offers one of the most immersive ways to experience Wrangell–St. Elias. Guests wake up to views of towering glaciers, alpine peaks, and restored historic buildings, with guided glacier hikes and flightseeing tours departing nearby. Staying here feels less like booking a room and more like stepping into Alaska’s past — surrounded by raw wilderness and quiet grandeur.
