Hiking
The Mint Hut was built in 1971 at this scenic spot in the upper Mint Valley, a gateway to the majestic Talkeetna Mountains. The hut can be used as a place to rest before starting your journey back, and staying there overnight is permitted on a first-come first-serve basis. The Mint Hut is managed by the Mountaineering Club of Alaska (MCA) and visitors are required to pay for an MCA membership before spending the night here.
