TheCurry Lookout, also known asCamp Regalvista, is an historic backcountry shelter inDenali State Park,Alaska. It is located on top of Curry Ridge, overlooking theSusitna River and the hamlet ofCurry, a former depot on theAlaska Railroad. The only access to the shelter is via a 3-mile (4.8 km) hiking trail beginning at mile 137.2 of theParks Highway. The shelter is a hexagonal wood-frame structure with a tent-shaped roof, and no foundation. Each side is about 6.5 feet (2.0 m) wide and 8 feet (2.4 m) 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 (no longer standing) was built. It was intended as an excursion point for visitors, providing views of the surrounding area, includingDenali.[2]
The shelter was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
