Beeman's Cabin built in 1959, according to the sign, is a dilapidated little cabin on Byers Lake in Denali State Park (which is South of Denali Natl. Park off the Parks Hwy.) Whoever Beeman was he picked a nice spot to homestead. He could see the crisp cool lake from his front door and had a little trail down to it, probably used most for fishing and washing of things. This was a hard life out in the wilds of Alaska but also Paradise to many. It can be hard living here now in our modern age, trust me, but choosing to be out there back in 1959 was a ton of work. Hauling and/or making everything was no small task here many, many miles from anywhere or anyone. Freedom, Peace, Quiet, Beautiful are all words that come to mind but a few more do as well: Dangerous, Wild, Cold, Bears, Snow, Firewood and all the sweat and tears that come with it...
