Curry Lookout, Denali State Park

The Curry Lookout, also known as Camp Regalvista, is an historic backcountry shelter in Denali State Park, Alaska. It is located on top of Curry Ridge, overlooking the Susitna River and the hamlet of Curry, a former depot on the Alaska Railroad. The only access to the shelter is via a 3-mile hiking trail beginning at mile 137.2 of the Parks Highway. The shelter is a hexagonal wood-frame structure with a tent-shaped roof, and no foundation. Each side is about 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet high. A flagpole rises from the center of the shelter, and is secured to the structure via steel cables. The shelter was built by the railroad in 1923, the same year the Curry Hotel was built. It was intended as an excursion point for visitors, providing views of the surrounding area, including Denali.
