Transportation Info

Most of our employees travel to Alaska from somewhere in the lower 48 States and typically arrive by major airlines into Anchorage, 95 miles north of Moose Pass. Therefore, most of our employees do not have an automobile at their disposal while working in Moose Pass.

If you do have a car, Seward, Alaska is a beautiful 30 mile drive south from our location. Cooper Landing, Alaska is 17 miles to our West. Both of these communities are very tourist-oriented and offer much to do in the way of recreation. Employees needing an occasional change will find typical restaurants, bars, a movie theater, larger grocery stores, guided outdoor activities and clubs in each of these towns. A shuttle van generally makes the trip to Seward at least once each day during the summer and twice or more when needed. Employees are always welcome to ride along at no charge and at their discretion.

Other options often used by employees include bike riding, hitch-hiking (not encouraged by Lodge management), and sharing rides with co-workers and friends they have made in Moose Pass.
