Who visits Alaska for the WiFi?

Embrace the wilderness

Glacier Lookout was primarily built as an observatory for monitoring the receeding of Valdez Glacier and surrounding glaciers, while also providing a place to step out of time to relax and disconnect. Its 360° windows allow you to enjoy the alpine scenery with the comfort of a warm fire. There is no WiFi, you might get some cellular signal, and there's no power. This is a genuine "get away from it all" experience.
