A HUT TRIP
The route up to the hut follows the Iron Edge Trail. This trail is 4 miles long and is pretty steep in places. Below is halfway up the trail in the thick timber. | Once up at the hut the views are expansive. There is a peak above the hut that affords awesome 360 degree views. |
The hut itself is a traditional 10th Mountain Hut. It has a solar power system, room for 16 people and a great deck out front. | Inside there is a large common area with wood stove. |
The kitchen area has a woodburning cook stove and counterspace to accomodate several groups | Upstairs has bunks in a big room and then 2 private bedrooms for couples. |
Here's the view from the peak above the hut. | Looking south toward the Elk Mountains. |
