Tanis Mesa Cabin

The Tanis Mesa Cabin is located southeast of Yakutat. The surrounding terrain is mostly flat, with blueberry and willow shrubs. Wildlife in the Brabazon Mountain Range include moose, brown bear, and mountain goats. Tanis Lake is a 2 mile hike north from the cabin; Fassett Glacier can be seen calving into the lake. The cabin is equipped with wooden bunks, table, benches, an oil stove for heat, and an outside toilet. It does not have mattresses or cooking utensils. Cabin users should bring sleeping bags, pads, cook stove, cooking gear, food, and #1 stove oil. A meat shed is available at the cabin.
