The Coolest Backcountry Hut in Southern Colorado

Easily my favorite mountain weekend experience to date! We were their last weekend before they change from a summer destination to a backcountry ski hut for the winter!

The hut is located about six hours away from Denver on Red Mountain Pass, right in between Ouray and Silverton on the Million Dollar Highway. It sits on 35 acres of land 11,200 ft above sea level and the views are to die for.

The hut itself is not what I would expect from a backcountry hut, more like an elevated mountain cabin with a few camp qualities (like no shower, but they do have a bathroom with working toilet and sinks.)

The main living area has a giant living room, table for family dinner and kitchen you don’t have to use (they provide most of the meals for you.) It sleeps eight, with one bunk room, one room with a king and a loft with a queen. Two dogs are allowed to stay at the hut with your crew.
