The hut was completed in 1988 and sleeps 16; 6 beds upstairs in a loft and 10 bunk beds downstairs in a communal bunked area around the wood stove.

Mayflower Gulch Grand Traverse

Frisco, Colorado

6.03 mi / 1585 ft gain

Getting to the Mayflower Gulch is pretty easy. In the summer months, if you have a high clearance 4WD vehicle, you can drive up to the Boston Mine. This will take 2-miles each way off your hike. If you're looking to stretch your legs, start your hike at the Mayflower Gulch Trailhead off of Highway 91 just north of Clinton Gulch Dam Reservoir. After two miles on the hike, you'll reach the Old ...

Begin up the obvious trail that follows a 4x4 road, which is drivable with high-clearance in the summer and cov...

From here, you can head into the woods to the right (there are usually tracks from other skiers to follow) or follow Trail Rd. to reach some peaks further from the highway. Many slopes are available to ski along the right side of the basin. To sk...

Janet's Cabin

Frisco, Colorado

11.7 mi / 1968.07 ft gain

Janet's Cabin is located on the eastern slope of the Continental Divide at 11,610 ft, near Copper Mountain ski resort. This hut is one of the rare huts with not only a sauna but indoor bathrooms (composting pits)! The cabin was built in 1990 and due to the location helicopters were required to bring in materials; I recommend reading about the construction issues and helicopter crashes while bu...
