An off-grid hut in the high alpine environment of Grays and Torreys Mountains, notable 14'ers. Beautifully updated, rustic decor without electricity, running water or WiFi - a true peaceful respite! Quiet and remote, surrounded by grand mountains and beautiful scenery. Cozy up by the heat of the wood burning stove or go for a skin or snowshoe. Sleeps 7-9 in beds. IMPORTANT: The hut is only accessible by vehicle in summer, and you must have AWD or 4WD. IN WINTER THE HUT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE BY VEHICLE; you snowshoe or ski tour the 3 miles and 1400 vertical feet to the hut on the closed 4x4 trail. (Inquire about our snowcat to haul gear.) Guests must bring their own sleeping bags and pillowcases. Hut shoes/slippers are also nice to have. The hut is "self-clean"; leave it as found or better! The $250 cleaning fee will be fully, partially, or not returned dependent on condition of hut upon your departure. You enter the hut into an enclosed open space (eventually this will be the new kitchen!) that is great for storing luggage and other items. The bathroom is in this room, and further down the hall is a "bunk room" with a double-over-double bunk bed. The main living space is 12'x12' and includes three twin beds that double as seating/couches during the day. There is a woodstove for heat. One of the first things to do upon arrival is get a fire going. The next thing to do is send someone for water at the nearby Spring, creek or by melting snow in the large water pot on the woodstove. In winter, the Spring is about a 5 minute walk up the road, marked by a bamboo at the trail off the right side of the road just after the neighboring driveway on the left. We provide two large 5 gallon jugs for collecting water, and a sled to help carry the load. There is a small kitchenette set up with a bucket sink (bucket, as well as ALL water, must be emptied before checking out), utensils for cooking, silverware, dishware, pots, pans, teapot, french press, strainer, towels and/or paper towels, etc. It's not a bad idea to bring disposable plates and bowls to minimize dishes. Upstairs is accessed via an outdoor staircase and is another 12'x12' room with beautiful views and a king size bed. It is heated via the fire downstairs, and stays nice and cozy.
