As the final hut to be established on the Wapta Icefield, the Scott Duncant Hut now makes the Wapta Traverse one of the classiest and most comfortable ski traverses in all of North America!
At the southern end of the Wapta Icefield, the Scott Duncan Hut is the final stopover for most groups traversing the Wapta. Its location allows skiers to more safely descend to the highway in the earlier hours of the day. Most groups access the Scott Duncan Hut from the Balfour Hut. Alternatively, it is possible to access the hut from Sherbrooke Lake and begin the Wapta Traverse from the south.
Please contribute a trip report to share your experience for those who visit after you! This not only helps fellow riders, but it also helps hutkeepers ensure that the huts remain in good operating condition.
