Just back from 3 days on the mountain at Walter’s Hut - part of the Shrine Mountain group of 10th Mountain Huts at Vail Pass. I have been doing hut trips annually for almost 30 years with this group of friends and it’s one of the highlights of my year. We missed a few due to Covid but this was my first back & loved it!
All photos taken with Iphones as I try to keep my pack light but went up the mountain with 32 pounds in my pack including almost 6 pounds of water! The last few images are from the other Shrine Mountain huts, Chuck’s & Jay’s, which are equally nice and so well maintained! And different than most other huts, these have running water and indoor flush toilets!
