Almost a hundred years
ago, this wilderness outpost set among over a million acres in the Alaska Range
was started as a hunters' basecamp to provide meat for goldminers and railroad
construction crews. In 1965, the rustic camp was purchased by world-renowned
hunter Lynn Castle who established an exclusive hunters' retreat for the very
wealthy. It took him 15 years to build the main lodge. And no wonder, with the
season between snows short and the distance to supplies long. He even flew in,
piece by piece, a sawmill. Castle died in the early 1990's, and few have hunted
here since.
Today, we hunt only
with cameras, emphasizing an appreciation of nature and we invite you to get a
sense of Alaska's splendor -- on foot, on horseback, or from a rocking chair on
your cabin's front porch. Step out into the wilderness, alone or with a guide,
and return to friends and a feast at the end of the day.
