1A medium-weight fleece blanket and a pillow are provided and bunkrooms are kept heated to 60°F during the cooler months.

2A pair of light, slip-on shoes are ideal for wearing around the Hut and between the main lodge and bunkrooms. (Flip-flops are good during the summer!)

3As much as you can comfortably carry. For those going Hut-to-Hut, three quarts per person per day is a good rule of thumb, depending on the weather and your level of fitness. For those hiking only the short distances from a trailhead, 1 to 2 quarts per person should suffice, again, depending on the weather and your level of fitness.

Since we produce all of our own power, electricity is at a premium; therefore, we respectfully request that you do not bring any of the following items:

  • Hair Dryers or Curling/Flat Irons
  • Laptops or iPads
  • Portable/Electronic Game devices
  • Stereos or CD players
