Important note from Sawtooth Mountain Guides when booking the Williams Peak Hut:
"The impacts of climate change are affecting outdoor recreation more than ever. Severe weather, forest fires (and forest fire smoke), excessive heat, emergency evacuations, trail closures, lack of sufficient snow cover, and the destruction of facilities and infrastructure, just to name a few, are becoming yearly occurrences in the mountains and adjacent communities. In considering a reservation for the Williams Peak Hut, no credits or refunds will be issued due to acts of nature (including a lack of snow) or destruction of the hut by natural or human-caused fire. It is more important than ever to protect your purchase with travel insurance."
