The Pearson Cabin, also known as Toklat Ranger Station No. 4, is a log shelter in the National Park Service Rustic style in Denali National Park in Alaska. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It is a standard design by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs and was built in 1927.[2][3][4]

It is significant as the oldest patrol cabin in Denali park that was built entirely by park rangers, and is likely the only surviving one.[5]
