NO VEHICLE ACCESS: You cannot drive to any of our huts, you must park at a trailhead and hike, bike, ski or snowshoe in from there. This is very important to keep in mind when planning and preparing for your trip as it can take anywhere from 1 to 8 hours to hike/bike/ski/snowshoe to the hut from the trailhead where you choose to park. Please visit our Huts page for information about the nearest trailheads and the Maps page for directions to those trailheads.

Hut Check-in: You may arrive at the hut as early as you like but we ask that you please check-in no later than 5:00 PM if you plan to join us for dinner. If you are not going to be able to reach the hut by 5:00 PM please contact the hut directly. For hut phone numbers, see Emergency Contact Numbers. If you arrive at the hut early and your room is not yet ready, the hut staff can show you where you may keep your gear until you are assigned to a bunkroom.
