The High Lonesome Hut is situated on a wooded peninsula at the edge of meadow, named for a nearby mountain where ski touring is inviting through conifer forests and open glades. Off property, touring routes lead you to zones with vistas of the Front Range and surrounding ranges.
The three story hut has a wood stove, firewood, running water with an indoor flush toilet, a shower, hot and cold running water, solar electricity, games, mattresses, pillows and kitchen utensils (pots, pans and settings for twelve). You provide....sleeping bags and food!
The basement of the hut has a wood stove and plenty of firewood. The main floor consists of a kitchen, dining area, bathroom, guitar, CD player and a small sleeping area. There are two bedrooms in the loft.
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.
